Hi guys,
I just got done installing my FAL on my EG half rad however I'm a little confused on the FAL 108. I want to make it work in pusher mode, and I thought to do that you had to flip the fan around. Well I did that I'm pretty sure the fan blades looked the same, or maybe I was just looking at it crosseyed.
But one other thing I found out was that the fan motor can spin either clockwise or CCW. I used a a tiny 9V battery to see if I could tell which way the air was flowing. Just for the hell of it I switched the pos and neg wires on the battery and the fan started spinning the other way. Is this another way the fans can be used? can I use it this way,or will using it like this cause damage to the fan motor?
TIA

cool, so I guess if I leave the fan on like it came out of the box (puller mode) and just switch the wiring then it would make a pusher fan?
