IMPORTANT INFORMATION

not lock the circuit break­ers in the off position, se­curely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.

• All wiring must be in ac­cordance with national and
local electrical codes and
ANSI/NFP A 70. If you are un­familiar with wiring, you
should use a qualified elec­trician.

• To reduce the risk of per­sonal injury, do not bend
the blade attachment sys­tem when installing, bal­ancing, or cleaning the fan.
Never insert foreign ob­jects between rotating fan
blades.

DO YOU NEED HELP?

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you
can do the following:

• Locate ceiling joist or other suit­able support in ceiling.

• Drill holes for and install wood
screws.

• Identify and connect electrical
wires.

• Lift 40 pounds.

If you need help installing the fan,
your Hunter fan dealer can direct you

GA THERING THE TOOLS

Y ou will need the following tools for
installing the fan:

• Electric drill with 9/64" bit

• Standard screwdriver

• Phillips-head screwdriver

• Wrench or pliers

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Consider using Hunter’ s optional accesso­ries, including a wall-mounted or remote
speed control. T o 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.

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.

OPERATING YOUR HUNTER FAN

1. Turn on electrical power to the
fan.

2. The pull chain controls power to
the fan. The chain has four set­tings in sequence: High, Medium,
Low and Off.

• Pull the chain slowly to change

settings.

• Release slowly to prevent the

chain from recoiling into the
blades.

• The chain uses a breakaway

connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens,
simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.

3. Ceiling fans work best by blow­ing air downward (counterclock­wise blade rotation) in warm
weather to cool the room with a
