Preparing the Fan Site
Step 1 - Choose the Fan Site
Proper ceiling fan location and attachment to the building
structure are essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum
eciency, and energy savings.
Choose a fan site where:
• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades during
normal operation.
• e fan blades are at least 7 feet above the oor and the ceiling is
at least 8 feet high.
• e fan blades have no obstructions to airow, such as walls or
posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.
• e fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will hold the
outlet box and the full weight of the fan.

Checklist for Existing Fan Site
If you want to use an existing fan site, complete the following checklist to
determine if the site is acceptable and safe for your new Hunter fan. If you
cannot check o every item, prepare a new fan site as described on this
page.
Fan Support System
• Fan attaches directly to building structure.
• Fan support system will hold full weight of the fan and light kit.
Ceiling Hole
• e outlet box clearance hole is directly below the joist or support brace.
Outlet Box
• e outlet box is an UL-approved octagonal 4” x 1-1/2” outlet box (or as
specied by the support brace manufacturer).
• e outlet box is secured to the joist or support brace by wood screws
and washers through the inner holes of outlet box.
• e outer holes of the outlet box are aligned with joist or support brace.
• e bottom of the outlet box is recessed a minimum of 1/16” into
ceiling.
Wiring
• e electrical cable is secured to outlet box by an approved connector.
• Six inches of lead wires extend from outlet box.
If your existing fan site is suitable, skip ahead to Section 2 • Installing the
Ceiling Plate.

Preparing the Fan Site (continued)
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.
Step 4 - Install the Outlet Box
4-1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4” x 1-1/2” outlet box, plus two #8 x 1-1/2”
wood screws and washers, available from any hardware store or electrical supply
house.
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. 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 o . If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the
o position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
5-2. read 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
Ceiling Plate.

Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®
Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low
Prole, Standard, or Angled mounting. e steps in this manual include
instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.
Considering Optional Accessories
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.
For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase
Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability and
wobble-free performance.

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O.
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the
blades.
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.
9-3. e light pull chain controls the power to the light xture. e
chain has two settings: ON and OFF.
9-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft.
9-5. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will
damage the nish.
9-6. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the
same manner as the fan nish.
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.

10 • Troubleshooting
Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move
1. Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker.
2. Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the wiring the fan section.
3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.
4. Push motor reversing switch rmly left or right to ensure that the switch is engaged.
5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.
6. Remove the shipping bumpers.
Problem: Noisy operation
1. Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron armature screws until snug.
2. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the blades.
Problem: Excessive wobbling
1. Make sure the blades are securely attached to the blade irons according to the blade assembly instructions
provided.
2. After thoroughly verifying the blades are securely attached to the blade irons, follow the instructions in the
enclosed balancing kit to balance the fan.
3. Turn power o, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.
Problem: Lights shut off suddenly, but fan is still operating
1. Check to make sure the wattage and type of the light bulbs that are installed meet the specications on the
light socket.
2. Turn the power to the fan o at the wall switch. Wait 5 minutes, then resume power to the fan.
Problem: CFL bulbs flicker when controlled by a dimming remote or wall control
1. CFL light bulbs are not usually made for dimming. Replace the CFL bulbs with dimmable light bulbs, or install
the fan in a location without a dimming control.
