Use the zip ties provided to secure the wires and prevent them from interfering with fan
blades, belts, and pulleys in the engine compartment. Insert the fuse provided.

8.

Locate the inlet hose from the engine to the radiator. Remove the black insulator cap
from the temperature probe then insert the temp. probe through the radiator fins near
the inlet hose. Reinstall the black insulator cap.

7.

Press the control knob (included in wiring kit) onto the control box shaft. Turn the knob
clockwise until it stops.

8.

Reconnect negative (-) battery cable to battery. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
Using a hand held thermometer (positioned near the inlet hose) or the vehicle’s tem-
perature gauge, monitor the temperature. When the coolant temp is slightly above
normal (or desired temp.), turn the knob counter-clockwise just until the fan turns on.
From now on, the fan should activate at this temperature setting. Adjust as necessary to
maintain desired temperature.

After the engine has been at normal operating temperature for ~45 minutes, adjust over-

flow tank coolant level to be at ~50% capacity.
