Step 2 - Cut the Ceiling Hole

2-1. Locate the site for the ceiling hole directly below the joist or support brace that will hold the outlet box and fan.

2-2. Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling. You will use the hole to install the support brace and outlet box.

Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary

Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole. If the joist is there, determine if it is positioned to allow you to recess the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling. If NOT, install a support brace as follows:

3-1. Attach a 2” x 4” support brace between two joists. Position it to allow you to recess the bottom of the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.

3-2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight of the fan and light kit.

4-2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in the box align with the joist or support brace.

4-3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64”) through the inner holes of the outlet box.

4-4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist with two #8 x 1-1/2” wood screws and washers. h e bottom of the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.

Step 5 - Prepare the Wiring

5-1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and associated wall switch location are turned off . 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.

5-2. hread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the fan supply line extends at least 6” beyond the box.

5-3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply house.

5-4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards and ANSI/NFPA

70..

You have now successfully prepared your ceiling fan site. For instructions to install your ceiling fan, go to your fan manual and continue with Section 2 • Installing the

The steps in this manual include instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow

the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
