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.
NOTE: 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 888-830-1326.
understanding Installer’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 1) fits close to the ceiling, for low ceilings
less than 8 feet high.
Figure 1 - Flush mounting
Standard Mounting (Figure 2) hangs from the ceiling by a downrod
(included), for ceilings 8 feet or higher. For ceilings higher than 8
feet, you can purchase Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter
fans use sturdy 3/4" diameter pipe to assure stability and wobblefree performance.

preparing the fan site
These guidelines are designed to help you select the best location
for your fan and to prepare the site prior to installing the fan. Proper
ceiling fan location and attachment to the building structure are
essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.
choosing the fan site
Within the room where you want to install the fan, choose a fan
site where:
•No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades
during normal operation.
•The fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the
ceiling is at least 8 feet high.
•The fan blades have no obstructions to air flow, such as
walls or posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.
•The fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will
hold the outlet box and the full weight of the fan.
See Figure 4 for the minimum mounting distances.
using an existing fan site
If you are preparing a new fan site, go to the preparing a new fan
site section.
If you plan to use an existing fan site, complete the following checklist
for the support brace, ceiling hole, outlet box, and wiring. If you cannot check off every item, see the preparing a new fan site section
for instructions on properly preparing the site for your new fan.
fan support system
•Fan must attach directly to building structure.
•Fan support system must hold full weight of fan and
light kit.
ceiling hole
•Outlet box clearance hole directly below the joist or support brace.
outlet box
•UL- approved octagonal 4" x 1-1/2" outlet box (or as specified by the support brace manufacturer).

cutting the ceiling hole
1. Locate the site for the hole directly below the joist or support
brace that will hold the outlet box and fan.
2. Cut a 4" diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the
ceiling as shown in Figure 6. You will use the hole to install the
support brace and outlet box.

installing the support brace
If there is a ceiling joist directly above the hole which will allow the
outlet box to be recessed a minimum of 1/16" in the ceiling, go to
installing the outlet box section.
If there is not an adequate ceiling joist available, do the following:
1. Attach a 2" x 4" support brace between two joists. The support brace must allow the bottom of the outlet box to be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into the ceiling. See Figure 7.
2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight
of the fan and light kit.
installing the outlet box
1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4" x 1-1/2" outlet box, plus
two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers, available from any
hardware store or electrical supply house.
2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in
the box align with the joist or support brace.
3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood
screws (5/64") through the inner holes of the outlet box.
4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist
with two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. The bottom
of the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into
the ceiling as shown in Figure 7.

preparing the wiring
CAUTION: All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you
are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a qualified electrician.
1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and
associated wall switch location are turned off. If you cannot
lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
2. Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the
fan supply line extends at least 6" beyond the box as shown in
Figure 8.
3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved
connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply
house. Refer to Figure 8.
4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards
and ANSI/NFPA 70.

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 four neoprene noise isolators. Position
