Wiring Instructions 115 Cont'd. 7. Manual Switch (Optional) For manual switch operation, use Flex-a-lite p/n 31148. Connect switch as shown on the wiring diagram (previous page). To override engine temperature and turn fan on, connect the switch to the "M" terminal on the control unit. NOTE: To prevent thermostatic activation (if only manual switch operation is desired), omit the lead to the "+" terminal of the control box. "B", "G", "M+" and "M-" must remain connected.
