TROUBLE SHOOTING

TROUBLE

SUGGESTION

Fan will not start

• check fuses and circuit breakers
• check wiring connections to the fan
• check wiring connections in switch housing
*CAUTION: Turn power off for last two items

Fan sounds noisy

• check to make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug
• check to make sure that blade bracket screws are tight
• check to make sure marrettes in switch housing are not 
   rattling against the wall of the switch housing
• if fan has a light kit make sure switch housing, screws and
   set screws are tight
• some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid state
   variable controls.  If solid state controller is used, change to 
   alternative control (See a Canarm representative for a list of
   available controls.)
• allow a 24 hour break in period to eliminate noises

Fan wobbles or 
shakes excessively

• check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade brackets
• check that all blade brackets are secured firmly to motor

• check distance from tip of blades to ceiling.  Gently bend 
   the blade brackets up or down until all distances are the same
• check distance between blade tip to blade tip.  
   All measurements should be equal.  Loosen blade screws
   and position blade until even then re-tighten
• check that the downrod hemisphere notch is engaged in canopy
• check to make sure that jam screws in downrod are tightened
• make sure canopy and mounting bracket are tightened 
   securely to wooden joist
• make sure warpage has not occurred in wooden blades.  
   If so, contact the Canarm customer service department for 
   replacement parts
• occasionally slight weight variations can be caused by 
   moisture during transportation.  All fans are supplied with 
   balancing kits and installation instructions to eliminate this 
   problem

INSTRUCTIONS
A ceiling fan has a totally internal switching system for total operation by way of 
pull chain on a fan/light combination.  Two pull chains will exist.  One is for fan speeds.  
This will be marked (SPEED) on the fan switch housing.
 

1st Pull will give fan High Speed

 

2nd Pull will give fan Medium Speed

 

3rd Pull will give fan Low Speed

 

4th Pull will Shut Fan Off

The third pull chain is for Forward/Reverse (Note: Some models come with a slide switch 
instead of a pull chain). This setting would usually be changed once per year.  Downdraft 
for summer to create a wind chill to give a cooling effect.  An Updraft in 

winter to circulate the hot stratified air off the ceiling and back down to the floor 

without creating a wind chill.

Fans should be installed with the blades at least 3cms below the ceiling, 200cms from the floor and 
60cms from the nearest wall.  • Air should be moved downwards from the deiling in the summer to 
provide a cooling breeze on the room occupants. • If the fan is used in the winter, air should be moved 
upwards towards the ceiling to disperse the warm air that tends to accumulate there an distribute it 
more evenly in the room. • During the summer, switch the fan and light off when you leave the room. 
Fans don’t actually cool a room, they just cool you by circulating air.
