STEP 1 - GETTING READY

The booklet also provides informa-
tion to ensure your fan support and
electricoutlet 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
locationand make certain theproper
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
orfan blades. Ifone of the fanblades

the blades for replacement.
Hint: If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades
in sets, as they were shipped.
If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call
