properly (see page 6). Replace worn belts or sheaves.

Bearings

Replace defective bearing(s). Lubricate bearings. Tighten collars and 
fasteners.

Wheel Unbalance

Clean all dirt off wheel. Check wheel balance, rebalance in-place if 
necessary.

Volume Too Low

Fan

Check wheel for correct rotation. Increase fan speed.

Duct System

See pages 3 and 4.

Volume Too High

Fan

Decrease fan speed.

Duct System

Resize ductwork. Access door, filters, grilles not installed.

Static Pressure Wrong

Duct system has more or less 
restriction than anticipated

Change obstructions in system. Use correction factor to adjust for 
temperature/altitude. Resize ductwork. Clean filters/coils. Change fan 
speed.

Excessive Power Consumption 
High Horsepower

Fan

Check rotation of wheel.

Duct System

Resize ductwork. Check proper operation of face and bypass 
dampers. Check filters and access doors.

Fan Doesn’t Operate

Electrical Supply

Check fuses/circuit breakers. Check for switches turned off or 
disconnected. Check for correct supply voltage.

Drive

Check for broken belts. Tighten loose pulleys.

Motor

Assure motor is correct horsepower and not tripping overload 
protector.

Bearings Overheated

Lubrication

Check for excessive or insufficient grease in the bearing.

Mechanical

Replace damaged bearing. Relieve excessive belt tension. Align 
bearings.  Check for bent shaft.

Excessive Vibration

Belts

Adjust tightness of belts. Replacement belts should be a matched set.

System Unbalance

Check alignment of shaft, motor and pulleys. Adjustable pitch pulleys 
with motors over 15 hp motors are especially prone to unbalance. 
Check wheel balance, rebalance if necessary.
