This listing covers the two genuine President ACMD901 fan kits plus the professional installation labor as one bundled offering. Do not add the standalone ACMD901 fan kits to your cart alongside this service — you would be paying for the fans twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this service work with a Washington I already own?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis service is designed to be added to a new Washington order shipping from CB Radio Supply. If you already own a Washington and want to send it in for a fan install, contact us before ordering so we can coordinate inbound shipping and turnaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does the install take before the radio ships?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFan installation adds minimal delay to your order. The bench work itself takes 30-45 minutes; the added step typically does not meaningfully change your ship date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill my warranty still be intact after the install?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each ACMD901 kit ships with two OEM replacement warranty stickers specifically for this purpose (four total across the two fans). We reapply them cleanly over the original locations so your President factory warranty coverage remains intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I combine this with the Pro Tune \u0026amp; Alignment service?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is a good pairing. We install the fans first, then bench-tune the radio in its final configuration so the tune accounts for actual chassis airflow. Add both services to your cart at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo the fans run all the time or only when needed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly when needed. The Washington's APM (Automatic Power Management) system controls both fans based on the radio's internal temperature. Under low-load conditions the fans stay off; under heavy transmit duty they engage automatically. You can also customize the activation threshold through the radio menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat if I only want one fan installed instead of two?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bundled service is dual-fan only, since dual is the manufacturer-recommended maximum cooling configuration.
