5. Tatūnga me te Tāuta
5.1 Te Whakaeke i te Poihi
The fan can be mounted directly to the radiator using the provided tie strap kit. Ensure the fan is positioned to maximize airflow across the radiator core.
- Attach the four mounting bracket feet to the fan shroud.
- Insert the zip ties through the fan mounting brackets and then through the radiator fins.
- Place the spacers and tension springs (optional, for vibration reduction) as shown in the diagram.
- Secure the zip ties with the plastic locks on the opposite side of the radiator, ensuring the fan is held firmly but without excessive pressure that could damage the radiator fins.

5.2 Wiring and Reversibility
The fan is configured as an air puller by default. To reverse the airflow (to an air pusher), simply reverse the polarity of the wiring connections.
- Air Puller (Default): Connect the blue wire to the positive (+) 12V power source and the black wire to ground (-). This configuration pulls air through the radiator.
- Air Pusher: Connect the black wire to the positive (+) 12V power source and the blue wire to ground (-). This configuration pushes air through the radiator.
It is recommended to use a relay and a temperature switch for automatic operation, or a manual switch for controlled operation. Ensure all wiring is properly fused.

6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
Once properly installed and wired, the fan will operate based on the control method chosen (e.g., thermostat switch, manual switch). Ensure the fan is operating in the correct direction for your application (puller or pusher).
- Air Puller: Mounts on the engine side of the radiator and pulls air through the radiator towards the engine.
- Air Pusher: Mounts on the front side of the radiator and pushes air through the radiator away from the engine.
Regularly check for proper fan rotation and adequate airflow, especially during initial setup and after any maintenance.
7. Tiaki
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your cooling fan, perform the following maintenance checks periodically:
- Te horoi: Keep the fan blades and shroud free from dirt, debris, and obstructions. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Tirohanga Waea: Periodically check all wiring connections for corrosion, fraying, or loose terminals. Ensure all insulation is intact.
- Whakaeke Haumarutanga: Verify that the fan remains securely mounted to the radiator. Tighten any loose mounting hardware if necessary.
- Tikanga Mata: Inspect fan blades for any cracks, chips, or damage. Damaged blades can cause imbalance and reduce efficiency.
8. Te Raru
If you encounter issues with your American Volt cooling fan, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Raruraru | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| Kare e huri te Fan | No power, blown fuse, faulty relay/switch, incorrect wiring, motor failure | Check power supply, inspect fuse, test relay/switch, verify wiring connections, contact support if motor is faulty. |
| Te rere hau iti | Incorrect fan direction, obstructed blades/radiator, low voltage | Reverse wiring for correct direction, clear obstructions, check voltage tuku. |
| Te haruru nui, te wiri ranei | Loose mounting, damaged blades, debris in fan | Tighten mounting hardware, inspect and replace damaged blades, remove debris. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact American Volt customer support.
