How Do I Install an Anti-Fog Goggle Fan?

When it comes to enjoying your outdoor adventures, clear vision is paramount. Goggles play a crucial role in providing protection and visibility, and an anti-fog goggle fan can be a game-changer, especially for older snowmobile goggles. If you're looking to enhance fog-free performance, here's a step-by-step guide to help you install an anti-fog goggle fan effectively. 

Note: The instructions provided are specific to older snowmobile goggles and may not be suitable for the Aviator 2.0 or Sinister X7 models. 

Step 1: Prepare the Battery 

Start by preparing the battery for the 509 Fan. Ensure the battery is in good condition and ready for installation. 

Step 2: Remove Top Plate 

Loosen the two top nuts of your snowmobile goggles and carefully remove the top plate. This will provide access to the inner portion of the goggle frame where the fan will be installed. 

Step 3: Position the Fan 

Take the 509 Fan and center it in the upper portion of the inside of your goggle frame. This area of the frame usually has supporting ribs. Depending on your goggle's brand and model, you might need to adjust the position of the screws on the fan to avoid these supports. Make sure the fan is properly aligned and centered. 

Step 4: Secure the Fan 

Gently push the 509 Fan upward, allowing the metal screws to protrude through the goggle vent foam. Confirm once again that the fan is centered and aligned as desired. 

Step 5: Attach the Top Plate 

With the screws sticking up through the foam, carefully place the top plate over the screws. Tighten both nuts to secure the top plate in place. It's important not to overtighten the nuts and to avoid using pliers, as this can damage the components. 

Step 6: Check Alignment 

Take a moment to look inside the goggle and ensure that the 509 Fan is properly fitted within the goggle vent area. Ensure that the fan is not misaligned or crushing any part of the goggle frame. If you notice any misalignment, reposition the fan and repeat Step 4. 

By following these steps, you can successfully install an anti-fog goggle fan to your older snowmobile goggles. This fan technology can significantly enhance your fog-free riding experience, ensuring clear visibility and comfort during your outdoor pursuits. Always make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations specific to your goggle model to achieve the best results.
