Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to prevent accidental electrical contact. Drain a small amount of coolant to reduce pressure in the system.
2. Remove Old Fan: Locate the existing fan on the front of the radiator. Unscrew the mounting brackets and carefully detach the fan from its housing.
3. Install New Fan: Position the Van Wezel 43002241 FAN onto the mounting brackets. Secure it with the supplied screws, ensuring a tight fit to avoid vibration.
4. Reconnect Electrical Supply: Attach the fan’s wiring harness to the vehicle’s cooling system controller. Verify correct polarity and secure connections.
5. Test Operation: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and observe the fan’s operation. Check for proper airflow and absence of unusual noises.
6. Final Checks: Refill coolant to the recommended level and inspect for leaks around the fan housing.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Every 12,000 km (or annually), inspect the fan blades for damage or wear. Replace if any cracks or deformations are detected.
• Lubrication: The fan’s sealed bearings require no external lubrication; however, ensure the housing remains free of coolant contamination.
• Cleaning: Gently wipe the fan housing with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could corrode the aluminum alloy.
• Electrical Checks: Periodically test the fan’s electrical connections for corrosion or loose contacts. Clean terminals with a contact cleaner if necessary.
