IMPORTANT INFORMATION
not lock the circuit break-
ers in the off position, se-
curely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
This fan is suitable for wet
locations when installed in
a GFCI protected branch cir-
cuit. All wiring must be in
accordance with national
and local electrical codes. If
you are unfamiliar with
wiring, you should use a
qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury, do not bend
the blade attachment sys-
tem when installing, bal-
ancing, or cleaning the fan.
Never insert foreign objects
between rotating fan
blades.
DO YOU NEED HELP?
To install a ceiling fan, be sure you
can do the following:
Locate ceiling joist or other suit-
able support in ceiling.
Drill holes for and install wood
screws.
Identify and connect electrical
wires.
Lift 40 pounds.
If you need help installing the fan,
your Hunter fan dealer can direct you
to a licensed installer or electrician.
To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, or motor
damage, do not use a solid-
state speed control with
this fan. Use only Hunter
speed controls.
WARNINGS
To avoid possible electrical
shock, before installing
your fan, disconnect the
power by turning off the
circuit breakers to the out-
let box and associated wall
switch location. If you can-
CAUTIONS

GATHERING THE TOOLS
You will need the following tools for
installing the fan:
Electric drill with 9/64" bit
Standard screwdriver
Phillips-head screwdriver
Wrench or pliers
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Consider using Hunter’s optional ac-
cessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and
use the accessories, follow the instruc-
tions included with each product.
For quiet and optimum performance
of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter
speed controls.
STEP 1 - GETTING READY
PREPARING THE FAN SITE
The location of a ceiling fan and how
the fan is attached to the building
structure are essential for reliable
operation, maximum efficiency, and
energy savings. For this reason, we
have included a separate booklet —
“Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site” — to help you
select the best location for your fan.
The booklet also provides informa-
tion to ensure your fan support and
electric outlet box meet UL-approved
safety codes for ceiling fans.
The instructions in this installation
manual assume that you have used
“Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site” to pick the fan
location and make certain the proper
fan support and outlet box are in-
stalled.
CHECKING YOUR FAN PARTS
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid
damage to the fan parts. Check for
any shipping damage to the motor
or fan blades. If one of the fan blades
was damaged in shipment, return all
the blades for replacement.
Hint: If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades
in sets, as they were shipped.
The fan includes a separate diagram
of the screws and other small parts
needed for the fan. Keep this dia-
gram handy for identifying parts dur-
ing installation; the diagram indicates
the step in which each part is used.
If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at
901/745-9222.

INSTALLATION METHODS
For a ceiling 8 feet or higher, stan-
dard mounting is recommended.
Standard Mounting (Figure 1a)
hangs from the ceiling by a con-
nector pipe (included), for ceilings
8 feet or higher. For ceilings
higher than eight feet, you can
purchase Hunter extension rods.
All Hunter fans use sturdy 3/4"
diameter pipe to assure stability
and wobble-free performance.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE
1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood
support structure through the
outermost holes on the outlet
box. The pilot holes should be
9/64" in diameter.
2. Install two of the three #10-32 X
3/8" canopy screws halfway into
the mounting screw holes located
on the side of the ceiling plate.
See Figure 2a.
3. Place the ceiling gasket over the
ceiling plate so that the slots and
raised surfaces on the ceiling gas-
ket align with the slots and holes
on the ceiling plate.
4. Thread the lead wires from the
outlet box through the hole in the
middle of the ceiling plate/gasket
assembly.
