BEFORE YOU BEGIN
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
To prevent serious injury or death, ALWAYS attach the Retention Cable to the fan motor and secure to the building structure
on EVERY fan.
The Retention Cable, if installed per Hunter Industrial Fan specifications, can limit the distance the fan could fall in the
unlikely event of mounting system failure. Failure to install and to secure the Retention Cable will void your warranty.
Mark the Floor to Alert Personnel
When mounting a fan in an area where materials could be elevated and contact the rotating fan blades,
mark or paint the floor with a large crosshatched circle, similar to the figure to the left, to alert personnel of
the overhead fan locations.
Weight and Torque Considerations
Always mount fan directly to building structure that can withstand approximately double (2x) the maximum hanging weight
of the fan.
The hanging weight of a 14’ fan with a standard 2’ downrod is 121 lbs., the maximum hanging weight of a 14’ fan with a 4’
downrod is 135 lbs and a maximum torque of 75 ft lbs.
If there is any uncertainty about the potential for the building structure to withstand double the maximum hanging weight
of the fan, 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 and Retention Cable, the building structure is sound, and
the installation complies with all federal, state, and local codes.
Damaged Equipment
Never operate or install any fans or fan accessories that appear to be damaged. Failure to follow this instruction can result
in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blades or blade holders when installing or cleaning the fan.
Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
Service
If the fan does not operate properly using the procedures in this manual, remove all power to the unit and contact our
Technical Department for further assistance at 1-844-593-FANS (3267).
Always use personal protective equipment.
You should always wear Personal Protective Equipment, such as a Hard Hat, Safety Glasses and a Fall Harness when
installing Industrial fans.
