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.

CAUTION

• Your Hunter ceiling fan weighs up to 50 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety, and to ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.

• When inspecting or preparing the installation site where wiring is available, to avoid possible electrical shock, disconnect power by turning off the circuit breakers both to the outlet box and to its associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock

2. Drill two (2) 1/4” diameter holes 2-9/16” apart through the back of the outlet box into the cross brace. There may be two holes at the correct spacing, but they will probably have to be enlarged.

3. Use the two (2) bracket screws to secure the hanger bracket and canopy plate to the joist as shown in Figure 4. Install the rubber bumpers into the canopy plate and the rubber bushing in the hanger bracket before assembling the parts to the ceiling joist.

1. Secure a metallic outlet box 4” x 1-1/2” or 4” x 1/2” deep to a 2” x 4” cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown in Figure 3. The outletbox must be recessed in the ceiling by 1/16” minimum. Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by drilling two (2) pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the woodscrews (5/64”) and use two #8 x 1-1/2” woodscrews and washers. Use the innermost holes for securing the box. Orient the box so the outer-
