FIGURE 11
Determine mounting position on ceiling and establish the
angle between 45˚ - 60˚ for the cable. Determine correct
location on the I Beam to drill 5/16” diameter hole for the eye
bolt. For example, if fan is 3.3’ down from ceiling, cables
should be mounted approximately 3.3’ away from fan.
Using a 3/8” wrench, install eye bolt with nuts and washers in
I Beam as per Figure 9.
Measure the run of cable required and cut cable approximately
2’ longer. NOTE: longer runs than 14’ will require
additional cable.
Secure it with 1 thimble and 2 cable clamps (Figure10).
Repeat using the other 3 pieces of guy wire cables, thimbles
and cable clamps (Figure10).
Guy wires should be taut but not over-stressed to allow free
self-levelling. They should also be to approx. 90 apart
(Figure 11).
IMPORTANT LEVELLING INSTRUCTIONS:
Check to see if the fan is level by placing your level vertically
on the side of the fan frame. If adjustment is needed, slightly
tighten the guy wires on the appropriate side.

the holes in the bottom of the hub cover.
2. Using M10 bolts with a lock washer and a flat washer,
thread each M10 bolt into each of the holes in the hub cover
and standoffs.
3. Tighten bolts with a 5/8” wrench and make sure hub cover is
secure.

FINAL STEPS
IMPORTANT LEVELLING INSTRUCTIONS:
After your fan is installed, check the level again by
placing your level vertically on the side of the fan frame.
If adjustment is needed slightly tighten the guy wire on
the appropriate side.
Once levelled your fan is installed and ready for electrical
installation / connection.
For proper electrical connection, please consult the
motor wiring diagram (supplied with the motor).

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
1. No maintenance shall be done on the fan, mount or guy wires while it is in operation or powered.
2. No maintenance shall be done on the fan controller while powered unless the task involves reprogramming or troubleshooting the
electrical system.
3. No maintenance shall be done within a 20’ horizontal radius of the fan and 4’ below and none above the blade level while it is in
operation.
4. While doing maintenance on the fan, mount, or guy wires, a safety barrier shall be erected at a radius of 20’ of the centre of the fan.
5. The fan controller must be locked out while maintenance is ongoing on the fan, mount, or guy wires.
6. All personnel working on the fan, mount, or guy wires, shall wear the appropriate personal safety equipment as mandated by local,
provincial, and national regulations.

POWER UNIT
Motor
Our motor or gear motor manufacturers supply Canarm with gear motors built for our application.
Designed for use with variable frequency drives.
Maintenance Schedule
Initial Six Months
• Check for hot spots
• Re-tighten all loose electrical connections
Repeat every eighteen months thereafter
Gear Motor
Maintenance Schedule
Initial Eighteen Months
• Check oil level
Every three years thereafter
• Replace oil with recommended equivalent as specified on gear motor (acceptable fill level is within 10mm - 12mm
or closer to the fill level plug).
Blades
The airfoil blades are designed for maximum efficiency and quietness with a minimum air disruption directly below the fan. All our blade
shapes are extruded from aluminum alloy and heat-treated to T-6 condition. They are anodized to .0004 10 Microns clear for corrosion
resistance and ease of cleaning. The blades have a one year warranty.
Maintenance Schedule
Initial Six Months
• Ensure blades are intact, level and clean as required
Every eighteen to thirty-six months thereafter
Drop/Mounting
The drop and mounting system is designed to prevent vibration or horizontal movement from being transferred back into the building
structure. The system is easily installed in almost any building and allows fans to hang level from beams.
Maintenance Schedule
Initial Six Months
• Physical check of fan guy wires, re-tightening of clamps if required
• Check all nuts/bolts/clamps (missing/loose/damaged)
• Physical check of safety cable, re-tightening of clamps if required
Repeat every eighteen months thereafter

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE CONTINUED
Control Panel
Tri-Lite HVLS controls are variable frequency drives which provide soft start/stop, variable speed control and overload protection for the
motors. The VFD also allows fan control to be automated and/or integrated with other systems. The controls come with a one year
limited warranty.
Maintenance Schedule
Initial Twelve Months
• Check for loose/discoloured wires
• Check for hot spots
• Re-tighten all loose electrical connections
Repeat every eighteen months thereafter
Note: Maintenance schedule is based on running 5,000 hrs / year and is a guide line to ensure safe and continuous operation of the
fan(s). In case of extreme operating (e.g. high humidity, aggressive environment or large temperature variations), shorter intervals
between service is recommended.
