KEY RETENTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Our fans are engineered with safety features that prevent pieces of the fan from falling in the unlikely event of a catastrophic
failure. Install the retention cable on EVERY fan. The retention cable, if installed per Hunter Industrial Fan specifications, will
provide comprehensive protection of people, equipment, and property in the unlikely event of mounting system failure.

MARK THE FLOOR TO ALERT PERSONNEL
When mounting a fan in an area where materials may be elevated into its path, we recommend marking or painting the floor
with a large crosshatched circle to alert personnel of the overhead location of fans.
WEIGHT CONSIDERATIONS
We recommend that a building structure be capable of holding approximately twice the stated hanging weight of the fan.
The hanging weight of a 24' fan with a standard 4' downrod is 212 lbs.; the maximum hanging weight of a 24' fan with a 10'
downrod is 232 lbs.
If there is any uncertainty in the strength of the building structure, a professional structural engineer should perform a
thorough evaluation of the building prior to purchasing the fans. Hunter Industrial Fan provides guidelines for mounting fans;
however, it is the sole responsibility of the building owner and installer to ensure the safety of the mounting system, that the
building structure is sound, and that the installation complies with all federal, state, and local codes.
CHECK FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL CODES
Code compliance is the responsibility of the installer.
Check all relevant codes to make sure that all product certifications, product listings, and building regulations are met.
WINDY CONDITIONS
Fans should not be operated or installed in locations where it is frequently windy.

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
The fan should never be run without a properly installed retention cable, which is supplied with every fan, along with all required hardware.
If the retention cable is not installed, the warranty will be voided.
