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

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.

Step 9B. Attaching the Light Fixture

Plug the upper and lower plug connectors together. See Figure 9C. The connectors are keyed and will only go together one way.

Before assembling the light fixture to the fixture fitter locate the arrow shaped hole positioned directly behind one of the (3) screw clearance holes on the outside flange of the light fixture. See Figure 9D.

Align the arrow in the light fixture with the arrows previously used to align the fan trim and fixture fitter. See Figure 9D.

Attach the light fixture to the fixture fitter using (3) 3/8" long Phillips round head screws with lockwashers. See Figure 9C. Tighten the screws securely.

CAUTION: Failure to securely tighten the (3) assembly screws could result in the light fixture falling.

Install (2) candelabra base lamps. Refer to maximum wattage label on light fixture for maximum lamp wattage.

B. The (8) sides of the fitter must be aligned with the matching

(8) sides of the fan trim. To orient the fitter locate the (3) arrow shaped holes near the outer edges of the fitter. See Figure 9.

Select the arrow which has a screw hole directly behind it, and align this arrow with the arrow in the trim. See Figure 9.

Step 9A: Installing the Fixture Fitter

Thread the upper plug connector from the motor through the large hole in the center of the fitter. See Figure 9A.

Check the (3) elongated slots in the top of the fitter to see if they are aligned with the (3) mating screw holes in the fitter mounting plate. If any of the screw holes in the mounting plate are covered by the fitter, rotate the fitter ninety degrees either direction to allow access to the (3) mounting holes in the mounting plate. See Figure 9B.

Assemble the fitter to the fitter mounting plate using (3) 3/8" long Phillips round head screws with lockwashers. See Figure 9A. Tighten the (3) screws securely.

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.
