Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the 
blade to the fan).
6-1.  Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets, 

insert them by hand into the holes on the blades. 

6-2.  Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly 

screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose 
after screws are tightened. This is normal.

6-3.  Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers 

from the motor. Note: Some blade mounting screws are installed 
in the motor to secure shipping blocks.

6-4.  For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the 

blade iron, and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade 
mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws.
