Arrow Flex-a-lite fuse WARNING...

WARNING :

http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html...r_warning.html

READ THIS TO ELIMINATE POTENTIAL ELECTRIC FAN CONTROL MODULE FAILURE, IMPROPER ELECTRIC FAN OPERATION, OR WORST CASE THE FUSE BODY MELTING OR CATCHING ON FIRE!

DATE-August 11, 2004

FUSE HOLDER PROBLEM - Flex-a-lite has become aware of inconsistencies in the fuse holder we have purchased included with your Flex-a-lite electric fan. Enclosed is a new fuse holder and fuse assembly that will resolve this problem.

PRODUCTS AFFECTED-The Flex-a-lite product affected by this fuse assembly is the Flex-a-lite electric fan model number 270, 280, 282, 290, 292, 295, 298 sold from May 2002 to July 2004 which included the fuse assembly produced by Che Yen Industrial Co., Ltd.. Products were sold through automotive retailers, mail order, and performance distributors.

HOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM - Flex-a-lite is providing a new replacement fuse holder assembly to you at no charge (part# 31282), and STRONGLY recommends you install the new fuse holder and fuse assembly IMMEDIATELY. Failure to replace this old fuse holder could result in severe damage to include a car fire.

Use the hole in the back of the new fuse holder to mount the assembly next to the battery positive, (+) terminal.
Make sure there is a good crimp between the wire and connector by using a wire crimping tool. DO NOT USE pliers or Vise-Grips to crimp terminals to the wire.
Discard old fuse holder and fuse assembly.
