To install the probe in the Derale Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat with Radiator Hose Probe, # D16769, first, the remove radiator clamp and hose. Next, insert thermostat probe into the upper radiator hose. Then, place the capillary tube on the radiator inlet tube so the probe itself will remain positioned in the hose. Place the foam pad between the capillary tube and the radiator inlet tube. Then, carefully install the radiator hose and tighten the hose clamp. It is recommended that a screw type hose clamp is used for correct sealing as factory type clamps can leak. Double check coolant level, and fill as needed.
