INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HUNTER LOW PROFILE CEILING FANS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
1. Read entire instructions car efully before beginning installation.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, be certain electricity is shut
off at main panel before wiring.
3. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use
a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
1. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use a solid
state speed control with this fan. Use Hunter Controls only.
2. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade
brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades
or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between
rotating fan blades.
Step 1: Pre-Installation Instructions
A.
Select installation site. Check to make sure that in normal use
no object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades. The
mounting site should also meet the precautions listed in Step 3
below.
B. Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall or plas-
ter ceiling. You will need a 4" x 1-1/2" or 4" x 1/2" octagon outlet
box and wire nuts (3) which can be purchased from any hardware
store or electrical supply house.
Step 3: Installation of Outlet Box and
Rough-In Wiring
CAUTION: Your Hunter ceiling fan with accessories can weigh
up to 35 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety
and to ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.
• Be certain electricity is “off” at the fuse panel when inspecting
or repairing installation site.
• All wiring must meet local and national electrical codes.
• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to an electrical outlet box. Mounting must support a 35 lb. fan with accessories.
A. Secure a metallic outlet box 4" x 1-1/2" or 4" x 1/2" deep to 2 x 4
cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown inFigure 2. The
outlet box must be recessed in the ceiling by 1/16" minimum. Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by drilling (2) pilot holes no
larger than the minor diameter of the woodscrews (5/64") and use
two #8 x 1-1/2" woodscrews and washers. Use the innermost holes
for securing the box. Orient the box so the outermost holes are aligned
with the 2 x 4 brace. The outermost holes will be used in Step 4B.
CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.

C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' abov e the floor.
For maximum efficienc y, they should not hav e an y obstruction
(walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade tips. See Figure 1
for mounting distances.
Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A.
Unpack unit carefully to avoid any damage to the components.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor and the fan blades.
If more than one fan is being installed, keep the matched and balanced fan blades in sets, as they were shipped. Should one of the
fan blades become damaged during shipment, return all blades in
the set for replacement.
C. Check contents to be certain it contains a bag of parts.

Step 5: Hanging of Motor

the wires are trapped between the plastic hanger and the inside of
the hanger bracket.

B. Thread the lead wires through the opening in the top of the
ceiling plate and through the opening in the side of the hanger
bracket. See Figure 4B.
Using the two center slots, install the ceiling plate to the 2 x 4
brace which supports the outlet box. Use (2) #10 woodscrews 3"
long and (2) flatwashers for mounting. Drill (2) pilot holes for the
mounting screws 9/64" diameter. See Figure 4B.
NOTE: When attaching ceiling plate to the outlet box support,
make certain bushings remain in place.
NOTE: Tighten the ceiling plate mounting screws only enough to
provide slight compression of the bushings. Do not over-tighten.

of the metal bracket. Check the assembly by trying to rotate the
motor and plastic hanger assembly. When properly installed the
upper part of the plastic hanger will sit flat inside the hanger and
the assembly will not rotate. See Figure 5A.
