take a big carrot or a bigger piece of foam which you can bin after the test, start the engine from cold, you have to gently approach the fan's blades with the carrot or foam and apply decent pressure(watch your hands) ... when the engine is cold the fan must stop
If u can "spin" a viscous fan when cold there's a problem with the coupling.
I take mine off in the winter, as it only serves to slow down warm up.......
