Use with grommet
Use without grommet
Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the
blade to the fan) .
7-1 . Your fan may include blade grommets . If your fan has grommets,
insert them by hand into the holes on the blades .
7-2 . 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 . This is normal .
7-3 . Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers
from the motor . Note: Some blade mounting screws are installed
in the motor to secure shipping blocks .
7-4 . For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the
blade iron, and attach lightly to the fan . Insert the second blade
mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws .

Note: The blades on this fan have been treated
with Hunter’s Dust Armor protection, making
the blades less likely to attract dust and dirt .
Use a dry or slightly damp lint free cloth to
clean the blades . Do not use a furniture polish
or any other cleaners that leave any residue, as
they will damage the protective Dust Armor
on the blades .
