INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HUNTER CEILING FANS TYPE 3

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 Controls only.

2. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

3. To reduce the risk of personal injury, install the fan only to the building structure according to these instructions, and use only the hardware supplied.

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 a 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 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 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 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 will be used in Step 4B.

CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.
