INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER LOW PROFILE CEILING FANS
Step 8: Fan Blade Assembly, Installation, and Balancing
A. Attach wood blades to blade brackets using three screws for each blade. See Figure 7. If your blades have large holes you must first insert the rubber grommets into the holes. See Figure 7A.
NOTE: Grommets are usually assembled by hand. If you use a tool, make certain you do not damage the grommet or blade when inserting the grommets.
Next assemble the blade to the blade bracket. Make sure all screws are tight to prevent vibration or wobbling. A cavity in the styrofoam packaging has been provided to nest the parts in during assembly to assure correct alignment of parts.
Even when the screws are tight, the blades may seem to be loose. This is normal when using grommets and will not be a problem.
B. If there are screws in the motor hub, remove them and use the screws to attach the blades to the motor. If the motor does not have screws, you will find them in sack parts.
Insert a mounting screw in hole in blade bracket. Use a screwdriver to hold in place. Align blade holes with mounting holes in hub by turning screw and readjusting blade bracket until screw mates with threaded hole in hub. Do not tighten until both screws have been put in blade bracket. Repeat for all blades. See Figure 8.
C. A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan. Should the fan wobble in operation, you may use this kit to correct the balance per the instructions supplied with the kit.
