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.

spread apart with the white and green wires on one side of the
outlet box, and the black and black/white wires on the other side
of the box.
C. The splices should be turned upward and pushed carefully
into the outlet box.
Step 7: Finish Fan Assembly
A.
Remove the fan from the ceiling plate hook. Make sure you
do not break any wire connections. The canopy has (3) suspension flanges located on top. See Figure 6. The ceiling plate has
(3) mating slots. See Figure 6A.
B. Lift the fan and position the (3) flanges in the canopy into
the (3) mating slots in the ceiling plate. Lift the fan until it is free
to rotate in either direction. Rotate the fan until the (3) holes in
the canopy line up with the (3) mating holes in the ceiling plate.
Using (3) 10-32 x 1/2'' long Phillips round head screws, secure
the canopy to the ceiling plate.
CAUTION: Failure to properly tighten the (3) screws could
result in the fan falling.
NOTE: For the ball hanging fan configuration make sure the (2)
grooves in the ball are engaged with the (2) tabs in the canopy.
Failure to do so could result in the fan falling. See Figure 5C.
Step 8: Fan Blade Assembly,
Installation, and Balancing
A.
Slide wood blade through slot in belly band and line up the
(2) holes in the blade with the rubber grommets in the blade
bracket. Insert rubber grommets into the (2) holes in the blade
and assemble the blade to the blade bracket using the shoulder
screws provided in sack parts. When properly assembled, the end
of the blade grommets will fit inside the bracket grommet. Snug
the shoulder screws to prevent vibration and wobble when the fan
is operating. See Figure 7.
NOTE: When the screws are tight the blades may feel loose.
This is normal when using grommets and will not be a problem.
B. Repeat the step shown above until all the blades are securely
attached.
C. A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan.
Should the fan wobble in operation, you may use this kit to correct the balance per the instructions supplied with the kit.
NOTE: After installing all the blades, check the (10) blade
bracket assembly screws which attach the brackets to the motor.
Make certain they are tight. See Figure 7.
Failure to tighten these screws will result in noise and wobble
when the fan is operating.
Step 9: Aligning the Fixture Fitter
A.
Looking up at the bottom of the fan trim. Locate the raised
arrow on the bottom of the trim. See Figure 8. Before proceeding
with the next step make sure youÕve located the arrow.
NOTE: You may have to rotate the fan blades in order to see the
arrow.

Step 10: Install Glass Globe
A.
Before installing the globe, determine which of the (2) pull
chains is used to control the fan. Located on the bottom of the
light fixture, next to the fan pull chain switch is a label marked
Òfan.Ó After installing the globe, pull this chain to control the
fan. Pull the other chain to control the light. After the globe and
finial have been installed, attach the wood balls with the extension chains to the ends of the fan and light pull chains using the
breakaway connector attached to the end of the extension chains.
See Figure 10C.
B. Locate the (3) pins at the bottom of the (3) flanges on the
plastic spacer. See Figure 10.
Align the (3) pins with the (3) small clearance holes in the metal
plate at the bottom of the globe assembly. See Figure 10A. Make
certain the (2) pull chains are aligned with the (2) larger outboard holes in the metal plate.
Guide the threaded tube and both chains through the larger holes in
the metal plate. See Figure 10A. Lift the globe until the metal plate
in the bottom of the globe bottoms out against the plastic spacer
with the (3) pins sticking through the small holes in the metal plate.
Keeping the globe in position, place the large flat washer over the
threaded tube and against the bottom of the globe. Thread the assembly nut onto the threaded tube, running it up tight against the bottom
of the washer. Tighten the nut very securely. See Figure 10A.
NOTE: Check and make certain the metal plate in the bottom of
the globe is tight against the plastic spacer.
Assemble the finial to the bottom of the light fixture by guiding
the (2) pull chains and threaded tube through the (3) openings in
the finial. See Figure 10B.
NOTE: If the reversing switch plastic pull does not extend
below the threaded tube, tap on the threaded tube and the plastic
pull should drop down into the proper position.
The breakaway connector is designed to separate from the chain
at a predetermined force. If a separation occurs, simply reinsert
the connector. It can be reused again and again.
Step 11: Operation of the Fan
A.
Turn electrical service on at main panel.
B. The fan switch operates in this sequence: ÒHigh,Ó
ÒMedium,Ó and ÒLow.Ó Pull the chain slowly and straight down
to operate. Also release the chain slowly.
The motor reversing switch may be engaged by pulling down on
the plastic rod extending out the bottom of the finial assembly
nut. If you wish to reverse the fan direction slowly pull straight
down on the plastic rod. See Figure 10B.
If needed, an extension chain may be added to the end of the
reversing switch rod.
