Standard screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)

Checking Your Fan Parts

Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Refer to the included Parts Guide. Check for any shipping damage to the motor or fan blades. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or call Hunter Technical Support Department at 888-830-1326.

Preparing the Fan Site

Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan location and attachment to the building structure are essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.



Installing Multiple Fans?

If you are installing more than one fan, keep the fan blades and blade irons (if applicable) in sets, as they were shipped.
