assembling the blades
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 on the blades as shown in Figure 18.

2.Attach each blade to blade iron using three blade assembly screws as shown in Figure 19. Some fans feature a decorative medallion as well as a blade iron. Insert the assembly screws into the blade iron, through the blade and into the medallion, with the blade sandwiched between the blade iron and me- dallion as shown in Figure 20.

If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose after screws are tightened. This is normal.
3.Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers from the motor.
4.For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the blade iron as shown in Figure 21, and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws.
