INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Remove Existing Fan & Shroud
If radiator overflow bottle is connected to the fan shroud, remove it and set it aside. This will
be installed with the new shroud.

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
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.
