CAUTION:
1. Read entire instructions carefully before beginning
installation.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, be certain electricity is
shut off at main panel before wiring.
3. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you
should use a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
1. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use a
solid state speed control with this fan. Use Hunter Control
Model 22691.
2. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade
brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades
or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between
rotating fan blades.
Step 1: Pre-Installation Instructions
A. Select installation site. Check to make sure that in normal
use no object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades.
The mounting site should also meet the precautions listed in
Step 3 below.
B. Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall or
plaster ceiling. You will need a 4" x 1
1
⁄
2
" or 4" x
1
⁄
2
" outlet box
and wire nuts (2) which can be purchased from any hardware
store or electrical supply house.
C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the floor.
For maximum efficiency, they should not have any obstruction
(walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade tips. See Figure 1 for
mounting distances.
Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A. Unpack unit carefully to avoid any damage to the compo-
nents.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor and the fan
blades. If more than one fan is being installed, keep the matched
and balanced fan blades in sets, as they were shipped. Should
one of the fan blades become damaged during shipment, return
all blades in the set for replacement.
C.Check contents to be certain it contains a bag of parts.
Step 3: Installation of Outlet Box
and Rough-In Wiring
CAUTION: Your Hunter ceiling fan with accessories can weigh
up to 35 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety
and to ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.
• Be certain electricity is “OFF” at the fuse panel when
inspecting or repairing installation site.
• All wiring must meet local and national electrical codes.
• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to an electrical outlet box. Mounting must support a 35 lb. fan with
accessories.
A. Secure a metallic outlet box 4" x 1
1
⁄
2
" or 4" x
1
⁄
2
" deep to
2 x 4 cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown in
Figure 2. The outlet box must be recessed in the ceiling by

⁄

"
minimum. Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by drilling
(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 outermost holes are aligned with the 2 x 4 brace. The outermost holes will be used in Step 4B.
CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.
B. Bring electrical cable into the outlet box and attach with an
approved connector. Make certain that wiring meets all national
and local electrical codes. Wire leads should extend at least 6"
beyond outlet box for ease in making connections. See Figure 3.

Step 4: Installation of Ceiling Plate
A. Install the (3) rubber bushings into the top of the ceiling
plate by inserting small side of the bushing into the three holes
in the ceiling plate. See Figure 4A.
B. Thread the lead wires through the opening in the ceiling
plate and install the ceiling plate to the 2 x 4 brace which supports the outlet box. Use (2) #10 woodscrews 3" long and (2)
flatwashers for mounting. Drill (2) pilot holes for the mounting
screws
9
⁄
64
" diameter. See Figure 4B.
NOTE: When attaching ceiling plate to the outlet box support,
make certain bushings remain in place.
NOTE: Tighten the ceiling plate mounting screws only enough
to provide slight compression of the bushings. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: Assembly Methods for
Installer’s Choice Hanging System
Your new Hunter fan can be hung in (2) different manners, one
being as a low profile fan and also as a ball type hanging fan.
Thus, installer’s choice. Customer should read Steps 5 through
7 and decide which style of mounting to use.
Step 5: Fan Assembly Low Profile Fan
A. The canopy has (4) holes in the bottom. The large center
hole fits over the adaptor on top of the fan. The (3) remaining
holes are for the canopy assembly screws.
Place the canopy on top of the fan and align the proper holes.
See Figure 5. Make certain you have located the hole pattern by
checking to see that the canopy sits flat on top of the fan without a space between the bottom of the canopy and the top of the
fan. If a space is present, rotate the canopy slightly, eliminating
the space.
B. Next, secure the canopy to the top of the fan using (3) #10-
32 screws with lockwashers packaged with the adaptor kit.
Make certain the screws are tight. Failure to do so could result
in the fan falling.
CAUTION: To ensure proper engagement of the canopy assembly screws, the canopy must fit snug against the top of the fan.
CAUTION: Do not lift motor by wires.
C. Being careful not to scratch the canopy finish, hang the fan
from the hook in the ceiling plate using one of the (2) slots in
the canopy. See Figure 5A.
Hanging Fan
CAUTION: Do not lift motor by wires.
A. Insert pipe nipple through canopy and feed wires from top
of motor through pipe nipple. Screw pipe nipple into fan until
tight (at least 4
1
⁄
2
turns). The setscrew locking the pipe nipple to
motor must be tightened very securely. See Figure 5B. Failure
to tighten screw could result in fan falling.
CAUTION: The pipe nipple has a special coating on the
threads. Do not remove. The coating is to help prevent the nipple from unscrewing.
B. Being careful not to scratch the canopy finish, hang the fan
from the hook in the ceiling plate using one of the (2) slots in
the canopy. See Figure 5A.
NOTE: For mounting fan on vaulted ceiling, there are (2) sets
of holes on the side. Locking tab in side must be in up position.
Use set of holes in ceiling plate that assures locking tab in
canopy is in the up position.
