PREPARING THE FAN SITE
The location of a ceiling fan and how
the fan is attached to the building
structure are essential for reliable
operation, maximum efficiency, and
energy savings. For this reason, we
have included a separate booklet —
"Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site" — to help you
select the best location for your fan.
The booklet also provides informa-
tion to ensure your fan support and
electric outlet box meet UL-approved
safety codes for ceiling fans.
The instructions in this installation
manual assume that you have used
"Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site" to pick the fan
location and make certain the proper
fan support and outlet box are in-
stalled.
CHECKING YOUR FAN PARTS
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid
damage to the fan parts. Check for
any shipping damage to the motor
or fan blades. If one of the fan blades
was damaged in shipment, return all
the blades for replacement.
Hint: If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades
in sets, as they were shipped.
The fan includes a separate diagram
of the screws and other small parts
needed for the fan. Keep this dia-
gram handy for identifying parts dur-
ing installation; the diagram indicates
the step in which each part is used.
If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at
901-248-2222.
