Spal Fan Rotation

I have a blower Spal curved fan but want to use it as a suck because I do not have enough room in front of the RAD. Anyone run one of these in reverse?

Generally running fans backwards doesn't work very well, both the fan blades and the motor are designed to run efficiently in one direction, which is why you can buy puller and pusher fans. That said it might work "well enough" for your application.

Mike RJ is right. But can you reverse the way the fan fits onto the motor shaft?
Problem solved if you can.
