or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow  
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum  
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.  
Standard Mounting hangs from the  
ceiling by a downrod (included).

Installing Multiple Fans?  
Checking Your Fan Parts  
If you are installing more than  
one fan, keep the fan blades and  
blade irons (if applicable) in sets,  
as they were shipped.  
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Refer to  
the included Parts Guide. Check for any shipping damage to the motor  
or fan blades. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter  
dealer or call Hunter Technical Support Department at 888-830-1326.

in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a  
tag, to the service panel.

6 • Assembling the Blades  
Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the blade  
to the fan).

them by hand into the holes on the blades.  
Step 6-1 (Detail)  
6-2. If your fan includes medallions:  
Place each blade between a blade iron and medallion. Install three blade  
screws to attach the medallion to the blade iron. Repeat for all blades.  
If your fan includes standard blade irons:  
Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly screws. If  
you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose after screws  
are tightened. is is normal.
