Hunter Fan TYPE 2 User Manual
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.
4. 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.
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.
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 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 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 ÒoffÓ 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 elec-
trical 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.
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 4A. Assemble Top Housing
CAUTION: Do not lift motor by wires.
A. Assemble the housing to the hanger adapter using (3) #8-32
screws. See Figures 4C and 4D. First align the (3) raised tabs of
the hanger adaptor with the (3) narrow notches in the housing.
Make certain the housing sits flat on top of the adaptor. Tighten
the screws securely.
NOTE: Assembly Methods For
InstallerÕs Choice Hanging System
Your new Hunter fan can be hung in (2) different manners. (1) as
a low profile fan or (2) as a ball type hanging fan. Please read
Steps 5 through 7 and decide which style mounting to use.
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 rubber bushing into the three
holes in the ceiling plate. See Figure 4.
B. Insert 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 wood screws 3" long and (2) flat washers
for mounting. Drill (2) pilot holes for the mounting screws 9/64"
diameter. See Figure 4A.
NOTE: When mounting the fan on a vaulted ceiling, make sure
that one set of elongated slots in the ceiling plate is aligned vertically with the ceiling joist, or horizontally with the cross brace if
a cross brace is used. Be sure one of the threaded screw holes in
the side of the ceiling plate is facing down. See Figure 4B. The
hook in the ceiling plate should be in the down position.
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.

Step 5-1: Fan Assembly, Low Profile Version
A.
Place the canopy on top of the fan so the hole in the bottom
of the canopy fits over the adaptor on the top of the fan. See
Figure 5. Place the canopy assembly washer inside the canopy
with the vertical flange of the washer resting on the inside of
the canopy.
B. Position the (3) slots in the canopy assembly washer over
the (3) threaded holes in the adaptor. see Figure 5.
C. Secure the canopy to the top of the fan using the (3) #8-32
x 7/8 long screws with lock washers. Make certain all screws
ae 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.
D. Being careful not to scratch the canopy finish, hang the fan
from the hook in the ceiling plate using the round hole in the
top of the canopy. See Figures 5 and 5A.
Step 5-2: Ball Hanging Version
CAUTION: Do not lift motor by wires.
A. Insert the pipe nipple through the canopy and feed the wires
from the fan through the pipe nipple. Screw the pipe nipple into
the fan adaptor until it is tight (at least 4-1/2 turns). Tighten the
pipe nipple setscrew very securely, locking the pipe nipple to the
fan adaptor. See Figure 5B.
CAUTION: Failure to securely tighten the fan adaptor setscrew
could result in the fan falling.
B. Before hanging the fan from the ceiling plate align and
engage the (2) tabs in the bottom of the canopy with the (2)
grooves in the hanger ball. See Figure 5C.
Using the round hole in the top of the canopy, hang the fan from
the hook in the ceiling plate. Make sure both tabs in the canopy
remain engaged with the grooves in the ball. Be careful to not
scratch the finish while hanging the fan. See Figure 5A.
Step 6: Final Wiring
A.
Connect electrical supply leads from the motor, using
approved connectors. Connect the black electrical supply lead to
the black motor lead and the black with white stripe motor lead
(see note). Connect the white electrical supply lead to the white
motor lead. Connect the ground wire to the green leads from the
pipe nipple and ceiling plate. See Figure 5A.
NOTE: If a separate wall switch will be used to control the light
fixture, connect the black wire with white stripe to the wall
switch lead. The wall switch must be acceptable for use as a general use switch.
