PAINT THE FAN.
TO INCREASE ITS VISIBILITY. On many engines fitted with a fan the blades are painted the same colour as the cylinder block and radiator honeycomb. Thus, when the engine is running the fan is practically invisible, and when making adjustments there is the risk that one's fingers may come into contact with the revolving blades—with painful results.
It is a good plan, therefore, to paint the blades a bright colour, which will enable them to be seen clearly at all times.
