INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HUNTER CEILING FAN TYPE 2
1896 ART NOUVEAU
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
1. Read entire instructions 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 or cleaning the fan. Do
not insert foreign objects in between the rotating fan blades.
Step 1: Pre-installation Instructions
A. Select installation site. Check to see 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
plaster ceiling. You will need a 4" x 1-1/2" or 4" x 1/2" outlet box
and wire nuts (2) which can be purchased from any hardware
store or electrical supply house.
C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the floor.
For maximum efficiency, they should not have any obstruction
(walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade tips. See Figure 1 for
mounting distances.
Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A. Unpack the fan 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 blades in sets, as they were shipped. Should one of
the 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 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 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 in Figure 2.
The outlet box must be recessed into 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 wood screws
( 5/64") and use two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. Use
the innermost holes for securing the box. Orient the box so the
outermost holes will be used in Step 4B.
CAUTION: Do not use lubricant on screws.

B. Thread the lead wires through the opening in the ceiling
plate and install the ceiling plate to the 2 x 4 brace which supports the outlet box. Use (2) #10 wood screws 3" long and (2)
flat washers for mounting. Drill (2) pilot holes for mounting
screws 9/64" diameter. See Figure 4A.
NOTE: Assembly Methods for
Installer’s Choice Hanging System
Your new Hunter fan can be hung in (2) different manners, one
being as a low profile fan and also as a ball type hanging fan.
Read Steps 5-1 and 5-2 to decide which style of mounting
to use.
Step 5-1: Fan Assembly, Low Profile Version
A.
First, place the canopy trim casting on top of fan as shown
in Figure 5. Note that the trim casting will be attached to the top
of the canopy after the fan is hung. Next, place the canopy on
top of the fan so the hole in the bottom of the canopy fits over
the adaptor on the top of the fan. See Figures 5 and 5A. Place the
canopy assembly washer inside the canopy with the vertical
flange of the washer resting on the inside of the canopy. See
Figure 5A.

NOTE: When mounting the fan on a vaulted ceiling, make sure
that one set of elongated slots in the ceiling plate is aligned vertically with the ceiling joist, or horizontally with the cross brace if
a cross brace is used. Be sure one of the threaded screw holes in
the side of the ceiling plate is facing down. See Figure 4B. The
hook in the ceiling plate should be in the down position.
