Limited Radiator Warranty
Flex-a-lite Consolidated warrants its aluminum radiators to be free from defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of one year from the date of purchase at retail by the original purchaser. This warranty is extended
only to the first purchaser of any such radiator at retail. If the Flex-a-lite radiator is used in any racing application,
repaired or altered, this warranty is considered null and void, it also does not cover any radiator repaired or
altered in any way. If products such as transmission cooler or electric fan are attached with cable ties or similar
fasteners that run through the radiator core, the warranty is voided.
This warranty does not cover labor, materials not manufactured by Flex-a-lite, or shipping charges. The retail
purchaser is responsible for the appropriate use and application of the product. This warranty does not cover the
effects of physical or chemical properties of water, steam, or other liquids used in the radiator. Radiators used
without an adequate proportion of premium quality antifreeze/coolant are not covered by this warranty. Flex-a-lite
aluminum radiators require a correct proportion of quality coolant, which contains aluminum corrosion inhibitors in
the formula.
Claims for internal damage of the engine, components, or user’s vehicles are not covered by this warranty. It is
the responsibility of the Flex-a-lite product user to monitor engine operation and have proper detection devices
installed to warn the user of overheating. Specific exemptions to the warranty include tube damage, ballooning
or bursting from excessive engine operating temperature, internal corrosion due to inadequate proportions of
antifreeze/coolant, or damage to radiator resulting from a collision damage.
Flex-a-lite shall not be responsible for damages to its product or injury to persons using the product when
improperly opening radiator pressure caps, burst hoses, etc. Flex-a-lite shall not be responsible for injury or harm
to persons or property caused by persons or vehicles using our products.
The purchaser’s remedy for breach of this warranty, exclusive of all other remedies provided by law, is expressly
limited to repair or replacement of any part or parts. All products returned for warranty consideration must be
returned through the point of purchase with all transportation expenses prepaid. Upon receipt of the product,
Flex-a-lite will examine the product to determine the condition and validity of the claim.
Radiators or products received, which were damaged in shipping, should immediately be reported to the shipping
carrier as damaged, and claims of damage filed accordingly. Contact the transport carrier (UPS, truck line, etc.)
for procedures in filing damage claim with the carrier or their agent. Do not return product damaged in shipping
to Flex-a-lite.
Some states may not allow a limitation on the duration of any implied warranty. The above warranty may not
apply to you. This warranty grants you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state
to state.

vehicle’s temperature gauge, monitor the temperature. When the coolant temp is slightly above normal (or
desired temp.), turn the knob counter-clockwise just until the fan turns on. From now on, the fan should
activate at this temperature setting. Adjust as necessary to maintain desired temperature.
After electric fan operation has been verified turn vehicle off and allow coolant to return to ambient
14.
temperature. Check coolant levels of reservoir and radiator, topping off as needed.
