1. Find the looped end of the

braided cable and insert it

through the ceiling plate and

one of the holes in the outlet

box into the ceiling.

2. Access the support brace in the

ceiling. You may not be able

to do this from below the ceil-

ing depending on your instal-

lation site.

3. Drive a #10 x 38 mm (1-1/2")

wood screw and washer into

the side of the brace that holds

the outlet box. Leave 3 mm (1/

8") of space between the sup-

port brace and the washer.

Hunter fans use several styles of

fan blade irons (brackets that hold

the blade to the fan).

1. Your fan may include blade

grommets. If your fan has grom-

mets, insert them by hand into

the holes as shown in Figure 7a.

2. Attach each blade to blade iron

using three blade assembly screws

as shown in Figure 7b. Some fans

3. Ceiling fans work best by blow-

ing air downward (counterclock-

wise blade rotation) in warm

weather to cool the room with a

direct breeze. In winter, having

the fan draw air upward (clock-

wise blade rotation) will distrib-

ute the warmer air trapped at

the ceiling around the room with-

out causing a draft.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCECLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for blades: Wood finish

blades should be cleaned with a fur-

niture polishing cloth. Occasionally,

a light coat of furniture polish may

be applied for added protection and

beauty. Painted and high-gloss

blades may be cleaned in the same

manner as the fan finish.

If you need parts or service assistance

contact your Hunter Fan retailer or

visit our WEB site at:

http://www.hunterfan.com

Caring for finishes: For cleaning, a

soft brush or lint-free cloth should

be used to prevent scratching the fin-

ish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle

can remove heavier dust. Surface

smudges or an accumulation of dirt

and dust can easily be removed by

using a mild detergent and a slightly

dampened cloth. An artistic agent

may be used, but never use abrasive

cleaning agents as they will damage

the finish.
