IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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
to a licensed installer or electrician.
CAUTIONS
• Read entire booklet carefully before beginning installation.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury , attach the fan
directly to the support
structure of the building
according to these instructions, and use only the
hardware supplied.
• Save these instructions.
WARNINGS
• T o avoid possible electrical
shock, before installing
your fan, disconnect the
power by turning off the
circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall
switch location. If you can-
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- 1993. If you
are unfamiliar with wiring,
you should use a qualified
electrician.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend
the Speed Ring™ blade attachment system when installing, balancing, or
cleaning the fan. Never insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
• To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, or motor

GATHERING THE TOOLS
You need the following tools to install the fan:
• Electric drill with 9/64" bit
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Consider using Hunter’ s optional accessories, such as a wall-mounted or
remote speed control. Follow the instructions for installation and use included with each Hunter accessory.
For quiet and optimum performance
of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter
speed controls.
STEP 1 - GETTING READY
PREPARING THE FAN SITE
Reliable operation, efficiency, and
maximum energy savings depend
upon proper placement and attachment of the fan. 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
the “Guide to Choosing and Prepar ing 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 parts to
avoid damage. Check for shipping
damage. If one of the fan blades is
damaged, return all blades for replacement.
Hint: If installing more than one fan,
keep the fan blades in sets, as
shipped.
The fan packaging includes a separate diagram of all screws and other
small parts. Keep this diagram handy
during installation.
If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call the
Hunter Parts Department at 901/
745-9222.

INSTALLER’S CHOICE®
This patented 3-position mounting
system gives you maximum flexibility and ease of installation. 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 8
feet, you can also purchase Hunter
extension rods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 3/4" inner diameter pipe to
assure stability and wobble-free per formance.

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.
