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

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

• Read entire booklet carefully

WARNINGS

41398-01 10/17/05

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.
