If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the oﬀ position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

• All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a qualiﬁed electrician.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade attachment system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan. Never insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.

• To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, or motor damage, do not use a solid-state speed control with this fan. Use only Hunter speed controls.
