Installing Your Hunter® Ceiling
Fan
Note To Installers: Please leave this manual with
the home owner.
Tools needed:
• Pliers • 3/8” Socket Wrench
• Flat blade screwdriver • Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill • 11/64” drill bit
• 4” x 1-1/2” standard octagon electrical box
Step 1: Pre-Installation
1. Select the installation site: Normally this is
near the center of the room, often replacing a light
fixture. Make certain that ample clearance is left
for the rotating fan blades. For maximum efficiency, no obstructions (walls, posts, etc.) should be
within 24” of the tips of the blades. See Figure 1.
NOTE: Mounting should also meet the precautions listed
in Step 3.
!
CAUTIONS
• NEVER REST THE FAN ON THE SWITCH HOUSING. As you prepare the fan for installation, rest
the motor in the liner in which it was packed.
• Be sure to put full contents of the oil tube into
the fan according to the instructions.
• If this fan is used as a replacement for an Origi-
®
Old-Tyme non-reversible fan, it must be in-
nal
stalled per the instructions included with this
fan. Failure to do so could result in the fan falling. DO NOT HANG THIS FAN ON A SINGLE
“J” HOOK.
• To reduce the risk of noise and to ensure proper
fan operation, do not use a solid-state speed
control with this fan. Use Hunter speed controls for Hunter Original
• Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the fan. A
mild detergent will clean and restore most units
to their original beauty.
