- Identify appropriate positive (+) and negative (-) wiring for your 12V or 24V DC power system.
- Connect the fan's power leads to the vehicle's electrical system, ensuring correct polarity (red wire to positive, black wire to negative).
- Secure all connections using appropriate marine-grade connectors or terminal blocks, and ensure they are properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Restore power and test the fan's operation.
