REMOVE EXISTING FAN & CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:

1. Remove plastic radiator cover and push-screws (push-screws may have to be pried out). Lightning owners will

need to remove the bolt holding the intercooler reservoir and move the reservoir out of the way. Save the push

screws and reservoir bolt.

2. Remove fan and clutch assembly. Place a rag over the fan to prevent injury.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

(VSC):

1. The VSC can be mounted on the front face on the shroud. Using the VSC

as a template, mark locations for two holes, then drill

" holes for mounting

the control onto the shroud. Use the two screws provided in the VSC kit (see

Detail 1).

2. Drill two ¼" holes to the left of the VSC to pass the yellow and purple wires

through to the back side of the shroud (see Detail 1). Drill one ¼" hole in the

support rib on the back side of the shroud to pass the motor wires through

(see Detail 2).

3. Crimp blue bullet connectors on the

ends of the motor wires. Insert the bul-

let connectors in the double end of the

2 to1 black snap plug. Place the posi-

tive leads in the same connector

, and

the negative leads in the other.

The

red motor wire is (+) positive and the

black is (-) negative.

4. Feed the thick purple and yellow wires

from the control unit through the holes

you drilled in step 2. Crimp a large non-

insulated bullet connector to the end

of each. Plug the yellow wire into the two red motor wires, and the purple wire into the two black motor

wires. Zip tie the wires so that they are clear of the fan blade (see Detail 3).

5. Wrap the connections with electrical tape to seal them from moisture and dirt.

AN INSTALLA

TION:

6. Attach one mounting plate to each side of the shroud with adjustment slot on

the plate at the top.

7. Attach left and right side mounting brackets loosely to the radiator.

8. Lower the fan into place and secure the side brackets to the mounting plates.

9. Select a set of mounting holes on the mounting brackets that allow for the

fan to be adjusted so the bulb seal around the base of the fan will contact the

radiator core. Mount the fan into place and tighten the mounting brackets to

mounting plates.

10. Lightning owners can mount the reservoir bracket to the top of the shroud

with the OEM reservoir bolt, after the motors have been wired to the control unit (see Detail 4 and 5).

Any unused mounting holes along the top can be plugged with the extra 6mm screws provided.

12. Inspect the engine bay and look for any hoses or hard lines that may come into contact with the fan blades through

rotation. Clearances must be at

least ¾" from the fan blades to

allow for ﬂ

exing, check oil lines to

determine if they need to be adjust-

ed.
