Our blade assembly enables you to lock the blades in place without tools and to
remove the blades easily for cleaning.
6-1. Align the three holes in the blade with the three blade iron posts.
6-2. Using two hands, squeeze the blade and blade iron together with your
thumbs under the blade iron and your fingers on top of the blade. You will
feel the blade lock into place.
6-3. Make sure the blade is securely attached to the blade iron and the flared
tops of the blade iron posts are fully visible above the blade.
6-4. Repeat steps 6-1 through 6-3 until all the blades are installed.
Blade Removal:
1. Cover the blade iron posts with a protective cloth to prevent scratching the
blades.
2. Using pliers, loosen the blade iron posts by turning them counterclockwise.
Once they are loosened, finish unscrewing them by hand until they are
completely separated from the blade iron.
3. Carefully remove the blade.

Note: The blades on this fan
have been treated with Hunter’s
Dust Armor protection, making
the blades less likely to attract
dust and dirt. Use a dry or
slightly damp lint free cloth
to clean the blades. Do not
use a furniture polish or any
other cleaners that leave any
residue, as they will damage the
protective Dust Armor on the
blades.
