Ceiling height must be a minimum of 9 feet.

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.

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.

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