IMPORTANT INFORMATION

®

CAUTIONS

• Read entire booklet care­fully before beginning in­stallation and save these
instructions.

• 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.

WARNINGS

• To 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-

41457-01 7/2000

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/NFPA 70. If you are
unfamiliar with wiring, you
should use a qualified elec­trician.

• To reduce the risk of per­sonal injury, do not bend
the 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
damage, do not use a solid­state speed control with
this fan. Use only Hunter
speed controls.

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.

STEP 1 - GETTING READY

GATHERING THE TOOLS

Y ou will need the following tools for
installing the fan:

• Electric drill with 9/64" bit

• Standard screwdriver

• Phillips-head screwdriver

• Wrench or pliers

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Consider using Hunter’s optional ac­cessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and
use the accessories, follow the instruc­tions included with each product.

For quiet and optimum performance
of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter
speed controls.

PREPARING THE FAN SITE

The location of a ceiling fan and how
the fan is attached to the building
structure are essential for reliable
operation, maximum efficiency, and
energy savings. 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
“Guide to Choosing and Preparing
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 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.

Hint: If you are installing more than

one fan, keep the fan blades
in sets, as they were shipped.

The fan includes a separate diagram
of the screws and other small parts
needed for the fan. Keep this dia­gram handy for identifying parts dur­ing installation; the diagram indicates
the step in which each part is used.

If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at
901-248-2222.

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.

10"

Figure 1a - Flush Mounting

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
eight feet, you can purchase Hunter
extension rods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 3/4" diameter pipe to assure
stability and wobble-free perfor­mance.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE

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 by 2 3/4" in
depth.

2. Bring the lead wires around the
sides of the ceiling plate. Thread­ing the lead wires through the
hole in the middle may cause
problems when installing the re­mote and trying to close the
canopy.

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.

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.

OPERATING YOUR HUNTER FAN AND REMOTE

Your Hunter Fan comes with an
acessory pull chain pendant for both
fan and light operation. T o install the
pull chain pendants, insert the loose
end of the pull chain pendant into
the breakaway connector on the fan
and light pull chains.

OPERATING YOUR HUNTER FAN
WITHOUT REMOTE

1. Turn on electrical power to the
fan.

2. The pull chain controls power to
the fan. The chain has four set­tings in sequence: High, Medium,
Low and Off.

• Pull the chain slowly to change

settings.

• Release slowly to prevent the

chain from recoiling into the
blades.

• The chain uses a breakaway
connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens,
simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.

3. Ceiling fans work best by blow­ing air downward (counterclock­wise blade rotation) in warm
weather to cool the room with a

Figure 12a - Air Flow Patterns

direct breeze. In winter, having
the fan draw air upward (clock­wise blade rotation) will distrib­ute the warmer air trapped at the
ceiling around the room without

causing a draft. Refer to Figure
12a.

To change the direction of air
flow, turn the fan off and let it
come to a complete stop. Slide
the reversing switch on the fan
to the opposite position as shown
in Figure 12b. Restart fan.

4. If your fan wobbles when oper­ating, use the enclosed balancing
kit and instructions to balance the
fan.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for finishes: For cleaning, a
soft brush or lint-free cloth should
be used to prevent scratching the fin­ish. A vaccuum cleaner brush nozzle
can remove heavier dust. Surface
smudges or an accumulation of dirt
and dust can easily be removed by
using a mild detergent and a slightly
dampened cloth. An artistic agent
may be used, but never use abrasive
cleaning agents as they will damage
the finish.

Caring for blades: Wood finish
blades should be cleaned with a fur­niture polishing cloth. Occasionally,
a light coat of furniture polish may
be applied for added protection and
beauty. Painted and high-gloss
blades may be cleaned in the same
manner as the fan finish.
