CAUTION:

For concrete mounting, the drilled hole must be recommended by the manufacturer of the anchor (this is usually marked on the anchor) and must be drilled at least

/2" deeper than

the length of the anchor.

The holes must be made with a suitable carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.

The anchors must be new and unused.

The concrete ceiling must be sound and free of cracks or voids in the vicinity of the mounting holes.

The anchors must be set in flush with the surface of the concrete.

The bracket screws must never be backed out. If the bracket screws can be turned easily (by hand), do not hang fan.

Installation

Drill holes 2" deep in concrete ceiling to receive 1/4" x 11/2" expansion shield anchor, “Rawl No. 1055” or equal. (Not furnished.) Install shield in holes, observing all cautions above.

Proceed with the installation of the fan per the basic installation instructions.

The Inside Story

Oil is constantly pumped up the spiral groove to lubricate the rotor and shaft. The oil is returned to the reservoir where the bearings are submerged in a bath of oil.

This unique lubrication system is built into all Original Hunter Ceiling Fans. That’s one reason Hunters last so long. And why we can offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The installation of your Hunter Ceiling Fan

NOTE TO INSTALLERS: Please leave this manual with the

owner.

Tools needed:

• Pliers •

/64" bit

• Flat blade screwdriver • 3 wire connectors

• Phillips screwdriver • 4" x 1

/2" standard octagon

• Electric drill electrical outlet box

• 3/8" Socket wrench

Step 1: Pre-installation

Select installation site: Normally this is near the center of the room, often replacing a light fixture. Make certain that ample clearance is left for the rotating fan blades. For maximum efficiency, no obstruction (walls, posts, etc.) should be within 24" of the tips of the blades (see Fig. 1). Mounting site should also meet the precautions listed in Step 3.

Fan mounting height: Your Hunter fan comes with the proper hardware to hang the fan from a standard 8 foot ceiling so the fan blades will be 12" from the ceiling and approximately 7 feet from the floor (see Fig. 1).

NOTE: On vaulted ceilings, up to 45° pitch, you may want to use the Hunter Vaulted Ceiling Mounting Kit.

Step 2: Inspect fan

Unpack the fan carefully to avoid any damage to components.

CAUTION: NEVER LIFT THE MOTOR BY THE WIRES. LET MOTOR REST IN THE CARTON LINER FOR PROTECTION.

Check the sack parts.

Step 3: Installation of ceiling mounting hardware

CAUTION: YOUR HUNTER CEILING FAN WEIGHS UP TO 50

LBS. THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN FOR SAFETY AND TO ENSURE THAT YOUR FAN IS SECURELY MOUNTED TO THE CEILING.

• When inspecting or preparing installation site where wiring is available, make sure electricity is “off” at fuse box or circuit breaker panel.

• All wiring must meet local and national codes.

• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to an electrical outlet box.

• The wood joist chosen for mounting the fan must be sound and of sufficient size. In no case, should it be smaller than standard 2" x 4" lumber.

Secure a metallic outlet box 4" x 1

/2" or 4" x 1/2" deep to 2 x 4 cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown in Figure 3. The outlet box must be recessed in the ceiling by

/16" minimum. Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by drilling (2) pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the woodscrews (

/64") and use two #8 x 11/2" 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 3B.

CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR

HUNTER ORIGINAL CEILING FANS

CAUTION:

Read this entire instruction manual thoroughly before beginning installation and SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

To avoid possible shock, BE CERTAIN ELECTRICITY IS SHUT OFF AT MAIN PANEL BEFORE WIRING. Always turn power off at main panel before servicing your fan or installing accessories. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a qualified electrician.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, install the fan only to the building structure according to these instructions, and use only the hardware supplied.

NEVER REST THE FAN ON THE SWITCH HOUSING. As you prepare the fan for installation, let the motor rest in the liner in which it was packed.

Be sure to put full contents of oil tube in fan according to instructions.

If this fan is used as a replacement for an Original OldTyme non-reversible fan, it must be installed per instructions included with this fan. DO NOT HANG ON SINGLE “J” HOOK. Failure to follow these instructions could result in fan falling.

To reduce the risk of noise do not use a solid-state speed control with this fan. Use Hunter controls only.

Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the fan. A mild detergent will clean and restore most units to their original beauty.
