just came back for a 35 mile ride w/ the family and half way thru i noticed my wife wasnt there(yes always look every few minutes) and turned around to see whats up and found her w/ the wheeler shut off and said the hot light came on( i trained her real well on that) so i said is it spitting out antifreeze and it wasnt so i said reach down and turn the fan(w/ the key off) and sure enough for the second time since we bought this a small amount of debri was holding it from turning. turned it back on and fan kicked on. so becareful on these as there not very strong and it takes nothing to block the fan from turning. and were not talking about mud or twigs, just a small little rock did it .

 

You taught her well!!!!!!!......Keep A eye on that "HOT" light.........Good advice for everybody!!!!
Thanks............Caper.............

Everybody that rides on one with this display........Should be told to watch for this if it shows on the display!!!

 

Those darn heavy old clunky Sportsmans and there easy access fans LOL

 

do you ride in a lot of mud? we take apart and clean them after a lot of mud riding-- beats the honda "panasonic" with absolutely no sealing.

 

Haven't had a problem yet (TOUCHE') BUT all good to know!

R'

 

yea just wanted you to be aware of how easy it was to stop the fan so it would cause any problems. yes we have rode alot in mud and do clean them every time. but this day there wasnt any mud just a loose materail as all it was.
