Drill
5/32” Drill Bit
12V Test Light
Wire Stripper
Crimping Tool
Dyke Pliers
PRE-INSTALLATION
Important: All Dyno-Cool Electric Fans come with a product label factory
installed on one end of the fan shroud. Before installation check the product
label to confirm airflow direction. Airflow direction will be shown with an arrow.
8”, 10”, 12” & 14” Fans
Factory setup for PULLER applications
16” Fan
Factory setup for PUSHER applications
Changing airflow direction
To change the airflow direction from the factory setting:
1. Remove the Nut or Clip that holds the electric fan blade onto the motor
shaft.
2. Carefully remove the fan blade from the motor shaft.
Note: This is an interference fit and requires some effort.
3. Flip the fan blade upside down and reinstall onto the motor shaft. Make
sure the roll pin on the motor shaft is aligned with the slot on the fan blade.
4. Reinstall nut or clip on motor shaft.
Important: For Puller applications use the referenced wire colors stated on the
Product Label. For Pusher applications the two wires MUST be reversed to
change airflow direction.
ELECTRIC FAN MOUNTING
1. Take the four supplied Mounting Feet and install them onto the Fan
Shroud in the desired locations around the perimeter of the shroud.
(See Diagram #2)
2. Position the Fan Assembly against the radiator or air conditioning
condenser.
3. Take the four Mounting Rods and carefully install them through the
Mounting Feet and then though EITHER the radiator or air conditioning
condenser. (See Diagram #2 & 3)
Caution: Do not use excessive force when installing Mounting Rods; damage
to the radiator or condenser tubes could occur.
4. Take the four 1 x 1 Foam Pads and remove the paper backing. Now install
them (sticky side toward the core) onto the Mounting Rods now protruding
through the radiator or air conditioning condenser. (See Diagram #3)
5. Take the four Mounting Clips supplied and install them onto the Mounting
Rods. The Mounting Clips can only be used one time, so make sure the
Fan Assembly is in the correct location. (See Diagram #3)
6. Secure Mounting Clips until 1 x 1 Foam Pads are slightly compressed.
7. Cut off any excess Mounting Rod.

Warning: Installation of accessories should only be undertaken by those with mechanical knowledge and are familiar with working on
vehicles. Always use eye protection (goggles, safety glasses or shield). Park the vehicle in a well lit area, on level ground and apply the
parking brake. Only work on a cold vehicle that has been sitting overnight, failure to do so will result in severe burns and injury. Before starting
the vehicle, make sure no tools or any other items are left under hood that could interfere with or be drawn into moving parts of the engine.
Failure to follow instructions can lead to severe damage and personal injury.
THERMOSTAT PROBE INSTALLATION
Making sure the vehicles engine is cold; drain enough coolant out of the
radiator so the upper radiator hose can be removed.
Coolant is a hazardous fluid, drain into container. Never openWarning:
radiator cap or attempt to remove hose while motor is hot.
1. Remove radiator clamp and hose.
2. Insert thermostat probe into radiator hose. (See Diagram #5)
3. Place capillary tube on radiator inlet tube so the probe itself will remain
positioned in the hose. Place the foam pad between the capillary tube
and the radiator inlet tube. (See Diagram #5)
4. Carefully install radiator hose and tighten hose clamp.
It is recommended that a screw type hose clamp is used forNote:
correct sealing (See Diagram #6). Factory type clamps can leak.
5. Double check coolant level, fill as required.
WIRING
1. Disconnect the Negative (-) terminal on the vehicles battery.
2. Using the #10 Blue Ring Terminal provided, attach the Negative (-) electric fan lead to a good Chassis Ground (-).
3. Using the extra Wire, Blue Female Connector, 30 Amp Fuse Holder and Blue Butt Connectors provided, attach the
Positive (+) electric fan lead to the RIGHT terminal on the Thermostat Switch. (See Diagram #7)
4. Using the extra Wire, Blue Female Connector and Blue Wire Tap Connector provided, attach the LEFT terminal on the
Thermostat Switch to a 12V Positive (+) Switched Ignition Source.
5. Reattach the Negative (-) terminal on the vehicles battery.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
Adjustment range is 32°F to 240°F
Higher turn-on temperature: Turn the adjuster clockwise.
Lower turn-on temperature: Turn the adjuster counter clockwise.
Adjust the thermostat to desired setting by turning the brass
adjuster with a flathead screwdriver.
Note: Knob not included.

2. Locate the Thermostat Switch in an accessible location near the radiator
inlet hose.
Note: The Capillary Tube Probe Cannot be lengthened or cut in any way.
3. Using the Mounting Bracket as a guide, mark and drill two 5/32” holes.
4. Using the two #10 Sheet Metal Screws provided, attach the Thermostat Switch.
