Step 2: Mount Side Brackets to Shroud

Mount bracket number 33485 to left side of shroud, and bracket number 33487 to the right side.

Use the bolts and washers provided.  

NOTE: Leave the brackets loosely mounted for now; you will

adjust and tighten them in Step 6.

Step 3: Overflow Bracket

If your radiator overflow bottle was mounted to

the O.E. shroud, you may use an optional

bracket kit to mount the overflow bottle to the

new shroud.  Flex-a-lite p/n 30927 mounts

overflow bottles on '97-up 4-cylinder models,

and Flex-a-lite p/n 30928 for '97-up 6-cylinder

models.

Call 800-851-1510 to order.

Step 4: Locate mounting point for control

Locate a mounting point for control near passenger side of radiator.  Control needs to be placed

within 18" of radiator inlet hose on passenger side.  You may want to mount next to radiator on

fender well or the corner of the fan shroud.  Mount control using screws provided.

Step 5: Wire fan

Route the motor wires through shroud.  Drill a 

¼

" hole to

pass the wires through.

Step 6: Mount fan assembly

You will use the mounting bolts from your

O.E. fan shroud.  Mount fan assembly to the

radiator and tighten the bolts that hold the

brackets to the radiator first.

NOTE:  For

late model vehicles equipped with A/C, it

may be necessary to remove 

the knock-

out from the right hand bracket (33487)

for A/C line clearance.  Smooth the edge

with a file after removing the knock-out.

Put the fan into place.  Before tightening the

brackets, adjust the fan so that the rubber

seal is contacting the radiator core and

compress the seal about 50%.  It may help to

have a friend hold the fan against the core

while tightening brackets.
