INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER ORIGINAL® CEILING FANS
Step 7: Fan Blade Assembly and Installation
WARNINGS!
-
To reduce the rist of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan.
-
Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
1. Attach the wood blades to the blade brackets using three screws for each blade. See Figure 12.
2. If your blades have large holes, you must first insert the rubber grommets into the holes. See Figure 13.
3. Make sure that 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.
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.
4. With some fans you have an option to install four or five blades. For five blades, mount to the outer row of holes on the motor. For four blades, use the inner row. See Figure 14.
5. To install the blades to the motor, insert the blade iron screw through the hole in the blade iron. Use a screwdriver to hold in place.
6. Fasten the screw onto the motor, but do not overtighten. See Figure 15.
7. Line up the other hole on the motor and fasten the second screw.
NOTE: Before tightening the screws, make sure they are not cross-threaded in the mounting holes.
8. Tighten both screws securely. Repeat for the remaining blades.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to run the fan until all screws have been tightened securely.
9. 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.
