getting ready

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:

• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceil-

ing.

• Drill holes for and install wood screws.

• Identify and connect electrical wires.

• Lift 45 pounds.

A longer downrod may need to be purchased for ceilings higher

than 9 feet.

If you need help installing the fan, your Hunter fan dealer can di-

rect you to a licensed installer or electrician.

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

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 re-

placement.

NOTE: If you are installing more than one fan, keep the fan blades

in sets, as they were shipped.

If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or

call Hunter Parts Department at 888-830-1326.

preparing the fan site

These guidelines are designed to help you select the best location

for your fan and to prepare the site prior to installing the fan. Proper

ceiling fan location and attachment to the building structure are

essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and en-

ergy savings.

choosing the fan site

Within the room where you want to install the fan, choose a fan

site where:

• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades

during normal operation.

• The fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the

ceiling is at least 9 feet high.

• The fan blades have no obstructions to air flow, such as

walls or posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.

• The fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will

hold the outlet box and the full weight of the fan.

See Figure 3 for the minimum mounting distances.

preparing a new fan site

To prepare the fan site follow four steps:

• Cutting the Ceiling Hole

• Installing the Support Brace (if necessary)

• Installing the Outlet Box

• Preparing the Wiring

cutting the ceiling hole

1. Locate the site for the hole directly below the joist or support

brace that will hold the outlet box and fan.

2. Cut a 4" diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the

ceiling as shown in Figure 5. You will use the hole to install the

support brace and outlet box.

x section.

If there is not an adequate ceiling joist available, do the following:

1. Attach a 2" x 4" support brace between two joists. The sup-

port brace must allow the bottom of the outlet box to be re-

cessed a minimum of 1/16" into the ceiling. See Figure 6.

2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight

of the fan and light kit.

installing the outlet box

1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4" x 1-1/2" outlet box, plus

two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers, available from any

hardware store or electrical supply house.

2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in

the box align with the joist or support brace.

3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood

screws (5/64") through the inner holes of the outlet box.

4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist

with two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. The bottom of

the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into the

ceiling as shown in Figure 6.

assembling the blades

Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold

the blade to the fan).

1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grom-

mets, insert them by hand into the holes on the blades as shown

in Figure 20.

2. Attach each blade to blade iron using three blade assembly

screws as shown in Figure 21. Some fans feature a decorative

medallion as well as a blade iron. Insert the assembly screws

into the blade iron, through the blade and into the medallion,

with the blade sandwiched between the blade iron and me-

dallion as shown in Figure 22.

If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose

after screws are tightened. This is normal.

3. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping

bumpers from the motor.

4. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the

blade iron as shown in Figure 23, and attach lightly to the fan.

Insert the second blade mounting screw, then securely tighten

both mounting screws.

reversing the fan direction

To reverse the airflow, press the REVERSE button. Reverse operates

at any speed whether fan is on or off. The fan returns to its set speed

after reversing. Refer to Figure 33.

Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise

blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct

breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade

caring for finishes

For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre-

vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re-

move heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt

and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a

slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never

use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.

caring for blades

Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing

cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied

for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades

may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.
