Installation
Install cooling fan assembly and tighten nuts to the specified torque.

NOTE:
Fan belts for 6VE1 Gasoline Engine mounted on 98MY Trooper (UX) have been brought into one. As a result, the rotating direction of a fan belt is opposite to the direction of cooling fan for 92 to 97MY 6VD1 with no interchangeability.

Therefore, incorrect installation of a fan may cause the air for cooling to flow in the opposite direction, this resulting in the poor performance of the air-conditioner and a rise temperature in engine cooling water.
