FAQs
What is the primary advantage of a 'puller' fan?
A puller fan mounts on the engine side of the radiator and pulls air through. This configuration is often preferred as it does not obstruct the natural airflow through the radiator when the vehicle is moving at speed.
Is this fan suitable for off-road use?
Yes, the fan is waterproof to IP68, making it ideal for off-road vehicles as it is protected against dust ingress and immersion in water.
What is the expected lifespan of the motor?
The motors used in Spal fans are designed for long life, rated for up to 20,000 hours of operation.
Does this product include mounting brackets or a thermostat?
No, the product is supplied as a fan and shroud only. Mounts and thermostat controls are available separately.
Can I use this fan with a 24V system?
This model is for 12V operation. 24V versions are available; please contact the supplier for details.
What is the warranty period for this fan?
Spal fans come with a 3-year guarantee.
How do I determine if this fan is the correct size for my vehicle?
You should measure the available space for the fan and radiator. Consult the product documentation or supplier for compatibility charts or advice based on your specific vehicle application.
Troubleshooting
Fan does not turn on
Check 12V power supply, fuse, and relay connections. Ensure the thermostat or control switch is functioning correctly and signaling the fan to operate.
Fan runs continuously
Verify thermostat or control switch settings. The switch may be set too low or is malfunctioning, causing the fan to activate prematurely or not turn off.
Reduced airflow or unusual noise
Inspect fan blades for damage or obstructions (e.g., debris, wiring). Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the radiator or shroud.
Fan stops working after exposure to water
Although rated IP68, ensure all electrical connections are properly sealed and waterproof. Allow the unit to dry and re-test connections. If issues persist, inspect wiring for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This fan is supplied as a fan and shroud assembly only. It is designed to mount on the engine side of the radiator. Ensure sufficient clearance for the fan and shroud. Electrical connection requires a 12V power source, ideally switched via a relay controlled by a thermostat or other temperature-sensitive switch to ensure efficient operation and prevent continuous running. Wiring should be secure and protected from heat and abrasion.
Compatibility: This is a 12V fan. Ensure your vehicle's electrical system is compatible. The 361mm diameter and puller configuration must fit your radiator and available space. Consult vehicle service manuals or specialists if unsure.
Care: The motor is waterproof to IP68. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth or low-pressure water spray, avoiding direct high-pressure jets on electrical connections. Periodically check the fan blades for debris and ensure the shroud is intact. Monitor fan operation for any unusual noises or vibrations.
