STEP 1 - GETTING READY
PREPARING THE FAN SITE
The location of a ceiling fan and how
the fan is attached to the building
structure are essential for reliable
operation, maximum efficiency, and
energy savings. For this reason, we
have included a separate booklet —
“Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site” — to help you
select the best location for your fan.
The booklet also provides information to ensure your fan support and
electric outlet box meet UL-approved
safety codes for ceiling fans.
The instructions in this installation
manual assume that you have used
“Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site” to pick the fan
location and make certain the proper
fan support and outlet box are installed.
CHECKING YOUR FAN PARTS
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid
damage to the fan parts. Check for
any shipping damage to the motor
or fan blades. If one of the fan blades
was damaged in shipment, return all
the blades for replacement.
Hint: If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades
in sets, as they were shipped.
If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at
901-248-2222.

INST ALLER’S CHOICE®
This patented 3-position mounting
system provides you maximum installation flexibility and ease. You can
install your Hunter fan in one of three
ways. The steps in this manual include specific instructions for the fan
mounting method of your choice. For
a ceiling 8 feet or higher, standard
mounting is recommended.
Flush Mounting (Figure 1a) fits close
to the ceiling, for low ceilings less
than 8 feet high.
Standard Mounting (Figure 1b)
hangs from the ceiling by a connector pipe (included), for ceilings 8 feet
or higher. For ceilings higher than
eight feet, you can purchase Hunter
extension rods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 3/4" diameter pipe to assure
stability and wobble-free performance.
Angle Mounting (Figure 1c) hangs
from a vaulted or angled ceiling.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE
4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes in
the wood support structure. Note:
The isolation pads should be flush
against the ceiling.
1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood
support structure through the
outermost holes on the outlet
box. The pilot holes should be
9/64" in diameter.
2. Thread the lead wires from the
outlet box through the hole in the
middle of the ceiling plate.
3. Your fan comes with two neoprene noise isolators. Position the
isolators between the ceiling plate
and ceiling by inserting the raised
areas on each isolator into the
holes in the ceiling plate. Refer to
Figure 2a.
