Read And Save These Instructions
Caution!
1. Read entire instructions 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.
4. T o reduce the risk of personal injury , install the fan only
to the building structure according to these instructions,
and use only the hardware supplied.
WARNING!
1. T o reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use
a solid state speed control with this fan.
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 the rotating fan blades.
Step 1: Pre-installation Instructions
A. Select installation site. Check to see 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" octagon outlet box and wire nuts (3) 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 the fan carefully to avoid any damage to the
components.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor assem-
bly and the fan blades. If more than one fan is being
installed, keep the matched and balanced fan blades
in sets of five 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: Y our Hunter ceiling fan with accessories can
weigh up to 35 pounds. 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
pound fan with accessories.
A. Secure 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 into the
ceiling by 1/16" minimum. Secure the outlet box to the
cross brace by drilling (2) pilot holes no larger than the
minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64") and use
two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws 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.
Caution: Do not use lubricant on screws.

Step 4: Installation of Ceiling Plate
A. Install the four (4) rubber bushings into the top of the
ceiling plate by inserting the small side of the bushing
into the four holes in the ceiling plate. See Figures 4
and 5.
B. Thread the lead wires through the opening in the top of
the ceiling plate and through the opening in the side of
the hanger bracket. See Figure 6.
Using the two center slots, attach the ceiling plate to the 2
x 4 brace supporting the outlet box. Use (2) #10
woodscrews 3" long for mounting through the outermost holes. Drill two pilot holes 9/64" diameter in the 2
x 4 brace for mounting screws. See Figure 6.
NOTE: When attaching the ceiling plate to the outlet box
support, make certain that bushings remain in place.
NOTE: Tighten the ceiling plate mounting screws only
enought to provide slight compression of the bushings.
Do not overtighten.

Step 5: Hanging of Motor
Caution: Do not lift motor by wires.
A. Lift the motor and insert the plastic hanger into the open-
ing in the front of the hanger bracket. See Figure 7.
Make sure none of the wires are trapped between the
plastic hanger and the inside of the hanger bracket.
B. Rotate the motor and plastic hanger assembly until the
lower half of the plastic hanger fits into the square opening in the bottom of the metal bracket. Check the assembly by trying to rotate the motor and plastic hanger
assembly. When properly installed the upper part of
the plastic hanger will sit flat inside the hanger and the
assembly will not rotate. See Figure 8.
Caution: Make sure plastic hanger cannot rotate in
metal bracket. Failure to check this could result in the
motor falling.
NOTE: The green ground wire attached to the plastic
hanger should face the opening in the front of the metal
hanger bracket.
