A. PREAMBLE
Congratulations on purchasing a Davies, Craig
Thermatic Fan Kit. This Fan Kit is suitable for both
air-conditioning condenser and engine radiator
cooling. We trust you’ve selected the most suitable
model for your application. If you have any questions
please contact Davies, Craig direct on (03) 9369-
1234 or [email protected]
B. KIT REQUIREMENTS:
This kit includes all parts necessary for condenser
cooling.
If you wish to cool the vehicle radiator you
should purchase one of Davies, Craig’s Thermatic
Switches Parts: #0401 or #0444 from your retailer or
on line from the Davies, Craig website,
www.daviescraig.com.au. If you wish to cool both
radiator and condenser cores you should purchase a
Thermatic Switch & Relay Kit #0404 which contains
a Thermatic Switch, #0401 and an extra relay and
wiring loom or the Digital Electronic Switch #0444.
C. FAN ORIENTATION
All Davies Craig fans are reversible and may be
mounted either
upstream
(in front of
radiator/condenser) or
downstream
(on the engine
side of the radiator/ condenser).
N.B. ALL THERMATIC FANS ARE FACTORY
ASSEMBLED TO BE MOUNTED UPSTREAM (in
front of radiator/condenser)
if there is insufficient space in front of the
radiator/condenser, the fan may be mounted
downstream, provided four steps are taken before
mounting.
For
downstream
mounting
(i) Remove the clip or undo the hex nut from the
centre of the fan blade.
(ii) Remove the fan blade from the motor shaft, turn
it over and replace. In every case the instruction,
printed on the blade, ‘this side must face front of
vehicle’ or ‘this side must face rear of vehicle’
must be followed.
(iii) Re-secure the fan blade
(iv) Before mounting the fan to the face of the
radiator/condenser, note the direction of the
arrow on the fan blade and when wiring, ensure
the fan rotates in the direction of the arrow in all
cases.
Optimum Thermatic Fan performance (forced air
flow) will be achieved by mounting the fan directly to
the surface of the respective condenser and radiator
core.
If you are having your fan fitted by a professional,
please ask that these instructions are read in full and
understood before installation.
Vehicles used for towing caravans and large trailers
may need to retain the standard belt-driven fan, at
least in summer, with the electric fans fitted in the
upstream position.
Air-conditioned cars should be fitted with a
condenser fan such as the 9” or 10” if one is not
already fitted. The 12” and 14” are suitable for
cooling condensers on large sedans and wagons
and the 14”HP or 16” is suitable for condenser
cooling on large commercial vehicles.
