GATHERING THE TOOLS

You will need the following tools for

installing the fan:

• Electric drill with 11/64" bit

• Standard screwdriver

• Phillips-head screwdriver

• Wrench or pliers

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Consider using Hunter’s optional

accessories, including a wall-

mounted or remote speed control.

To install and use the accessories,

follow the instructions included with

each product.

For quiet and optimum perfor-

mance 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 se-

lect the best location for your fan. The

booklet also provides information 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

901-248-2222.

INSTALLATION METHODS

This Hunter fan has a 2-position

mounting system which provides you

maximum installation flexibility and

ease. You can install your Hunter fan

in one of two ways. The steps in this

manual include specific instructions

for the fan mounting method of your

choice. For a ceiling 8 feet or higher,

standard mounting is recommended.

Standard Mounting (Figure 1a)

hangs from the ceiling by a connec-

tor 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 perfor-

mance.

pull and the fan with a wall

switch (one wall switch re-

quired)

• control the light with one wall

switch and the fan with an-

other (two wall switches re-

quired)

Use connection 2 on page 13 if

there is no separate wall switch

power wire for the light fixture.

Note: Wall switches not included.

4. Connect the wires as shown in Fig-

ure 5a. To connect the wires, twist

the bare metal leads together.

STEP 9 - INSTALLING LIGHT KITS

Your Hunter fan is designed to accept

Hunter light kits. If you would like to

install a light kit on this Hunter fan,

you may purchase an accessory light

kit where you purchased the fan or

at any other Hunter distributor.

NOTE: Use only Hunter light kits listed

for use in Wet Locations.

41461-01 12/20/2001

3. The pull chain controls power to

the fan. The chain has four set-

tings in sequence: High, Medium,

Low and Off.

4. Ceiling fans work best by blow-

ing air downward (counterclock-

wise blade rotation) in warm

weather to cool the room with a

direct breeze.

In winter, having the fan draw air

upward (clockwise blade rotation)

will distribute the warmer air

trapped at the ceiling around the

room without causing a draft.

OPERATING YOUR HUNTER FAN

1. Turn on electrical power to the

fan.

2. There are two pull chains on this

fan; one for fan operation and

one for reversing the fan.

NOTE: Use the following direc-

tions for operating all pull chain

switches.

• Pull the chain slowly to change

settings.

• Release slowly to prevent the

chain from recoiling into the

blades.

• The chain uses a breakaway

connector that separates if the

chain is jerked. If this happens,

simply reinsert the chain into

the connector.

Figure 10a - Air Flow Patterns

To change the direction of air flow,

turn the fan off and let it come to

a complete stop. Pull the revers-

ing switch chain on the fan to the

next position as shown in Figure

10b. Restart fan.

5. If your fan wobbles when operat-

ing, use the enclosed balancing kit

and instructions to balance the

fan.
