IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CAUTIONS

• Read entire booklet carefully before beginning installation and save these instructions.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury, attach the fan directly to the support structure of the building according to these instructions, and use only the hardware supplied.

WARNINGS

• To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

• All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes and

ANSI/NFPA 70- 1993. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a qualified electrician.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade attachment system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan.

Never insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or motor damage, do not use a solidstate speed control with this fan. Use only Hunter speed controls.

DO YOU NEED HELP?

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

• Locate ceiling joist or other suitable 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.

STEP 1 - GETTING READY

GATHERING THE TOOLS PREPARING THE FAN SITE

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 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 performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.

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 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 installed.

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 diagram handy for identifying parts during 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.

INSTALLER’S CHOICE ®

This patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one of three ways. The steps in this manual include specific instructions for the fan mounting method of your choice.

Flush Mounting (Figure 1a) fits close to the ceiling, for low ceilings less than 8 feet high.

Standard Mounting (Figure 1b) hangs from the ceiling by a connector 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.

Angle Mounting (Figure 1c) hangs from a vaulted or angled ceiling.
