You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Wire it up. If it blows the wrong way then swap the wires around.

it can be hooked up to push or pull whatever way u decide to mount it. if its blowing the wrong way as grumble said swap the wires and it will spin the right way. you can always test what way to hook it up on your battery temporarily and figure out what way to connect it. i recommend using the plug or wires coming from your OEM fan so it runs off the stock fan switch.

^^Looks good.

Straight blades? Then just reverse polarity.

Curved blades? I believe you have to remove the blade, flip it upside down and then you are good (no wiring changes).

I have been running a straight blade fan as a pusher for years with no problems.

What do you mean how does it run like that? Is it a fan. The angle of the straight blades changes how air is affected if the fans spins differently.

Spin one way and it will push, spin the opposite way and it will pull.

I just said I have been using a fan like this for years. Why would you then ask if we are having any problems with it. Obvious answer is obvious.
