Default cooling fan going in reverse...

I am pretty sure that the fan on my 96 sportsman is supposed to blow on the engine...I noticed when mine comes on it blows through the front of the radiator?? What wires could have been switched??

maybe its just the fan blade on backwards not the actual motor spinning the wrong way?
