Problem Possible Cause Remedy

The document discusses troubleshooting low air flow issues in a fan. Possible causes include low fan speed due to motor speed or pulley ratios, the fan running backwards which can be checked by inspecting impeller rotation, or wrong mounting of the impeller such as with a double inlet fan which may need to have the impeller direction reversed on the shaft. Excessive clearance between the impeller and inlet cone can also cause low air flow and may require adjusting the clearance.
