GATHERING THE TOOLS
You will need the following tools for
installing the fan:
• Electric drill with 9/64" bit
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers
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.
The fan includes a separate diagram
of the screws and other small parts
needed for the fan. Keep this diagram handy for identifying parts during installation; the diagram indicates
the step in which each part is used.
If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at
901-248-2222.

INSTALLATION METHOD
Standard Mounting (Figure 1) 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.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE
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. Install two of the three #10-32 X
3/8" canopy screws halfway into
the mounting screw holes located
on the side of the ceiling plate.
See Figure 2a.
3. Place the ceiling gasket over the
ceiling plate so that the slots and
raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots and holes
on the ceiling plate.
4. Thread the lead wires from the
outlet box through the hole in the
middle of the ceiling plate/gasket
assembly.

gasket assembly
5. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with pilot holes in the

screws through the slotted holes
in the ceiling plate as shown in
Figure 2b.
