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.
• All wiring must be in accor-
dance with national and lo-
cal electrical codes and
ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are
unfamiliar with wiring, you
should use a qualified elec-
trician.
• 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,
yourHunter fandealer candirectyou
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 care-
fully before beginning in-
stallation and save these
instructions.
• To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury, attach the fan
directly to the support
structure of the building ac-
cording to these instruc-
tions, and use only the
hardware supplied.

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
orremotespeedcontrol.Toinstall and
usethe accessories, followthe 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
Thelocation of aceiling fanand 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
electricoutlet boxmeet 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
locationand makecertainthe 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
orfan blades.If oneof thefan 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-
gramhandy foridentifying parts dur-
inginstallation; thediagramindicates
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.

INSTALLER’S CHOICE®
This patented 3-position mounting
systemprovidesyoumaximum instal-
lation flexibility and ease. You can
installyour Hunterfan in oneof three
ways. The steps in this manual in-
cludespecific instructions forthe fan
mountingmethod ofyourchoice. For
a ceiling 8 feet or higher, standard
mounting is recommended.
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 connec-
torpipe (included), forceilings 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.
Angle Mounting (Figure 1c) hangs
from a vaulted or angled ceiling.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE
4. Align the slotted holes in the ceil-
ing plate with the pilot holes in
the wood support structure.
Note: The isolation pads should
be flush against the ceiling.
1. Drill twopilotholes intothe wood
support structure through the
outermost holes on the outlet
box. The pilot holes should be
9/64" in diameter by 2 3/4" in
depth.
2. Bring the lead wires around the
sidesof the ceilingplate. Thread-
ing the lead wires through the
hole in the middle may cause
problems when installing the re-
mote and trying to close the
canopy.
3. Your fan comes with two neo-
prenenoise isolators.Position the
isolatorsbetween theceilingplate
and ceiling by inserting the raised
areas on each isolator into the
holes in the ceiling plate. Refer to
Figure 2a.

For Angle Mounting Only: Be
sure to orient the ceiling plate so
that the two hooks point up to-

in Figure 2b. Note: You will use
the hooks to support the fan
while wiring the fan.

As discussed in STEP 1 - GETTING
READY, your Hunter fan can be in-
stalled in a standard mounting posi-
tion.
Included with the fan are two pipes:
one 3" long pipe/ball assembly for
standard mounting on 8' ceilings and
one 12" long pipe for 9' ceilings and
higher. See Figure 3a.
If you are going to install the fan us-
ing the standard mounting, go to
STEP 4 - ASSEMBLING THE FAN.
If you are going to install the fan us-
ing the 12" long pipe for 9' ceilings
or higher, complete the steps below.
STEP 3 - ASSEMBLING PIPE/BALL ASSEMBLY
3. Remove the ball from the pipe.
4. Remove the pin from the pipe.

REMOVING BALL ASSEMBLY
For the following steps refer to
Figures 3b and 3c.
1. Locate the 3" pipe/ball assembly.
2. Remove the positioning screw
from the top of the ball.
NOTE: The ball will become
loose and should slide down the
pipe.

8. Insert the pin into the two holes
in the 12" pipe so that the pin is
placed evenly in the hole.
9. Insert the threaded end of the
pipe into the flat side of the ball.
10.Align the cutouts in the ball with
the pin and the ground screw as-
sembly.
11.Slide the ball up the pipe until it
hits the pin.
12.Insertand tighten thepositioning
screw into the ball so that the
head of the screw is tight on the
end of the pipe.
NOTE: Make sure that the ball
is positioned so that it is level or
straight.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten the posi-
tioning screw as it may cause
the ball to seat improperly, re-
sulting in fan wobble and the
fan hanging crookedly.
WARNING
• Failure to complete the
steps above properly could
result in the fan falling.
Figure 3c - 12" pipe assembly
CAUTION
Make sure that the leadwire
assembly is pointing straight
up and away from the pipe.
WARNING
• To avoid possible electrical
shock, the ground screw
must be tightened securely.
5. Carefully loosen and remove the
ground screw/leadwire assembly
from the pipe.
6. Locate the 12" pipe.
7. Insert and tighten the ground
screw/leadwire assembly into the
small screw hole on one end of
the 12" pipe.

STEP 4 - ASSEMBLING THE FAN
Use the Step 4 instructions for the
type of mounting you have selected:
standard, angle, or flush.
STANDARD AND ANGLE
MOUNTING
For Standard 8-foot Ceilings and
Higher
1. Insert the pipe through the
canopy as shown in Figure 4a.
Feed wires from the fan through
the canopy then through the
pipe.
2. Screw pipe into fan assembly un-
til tight. IMPORTANT! Tighten
pipe setscrew as shown in Figure
4a.
CAUTION
The pipe has a special coating
on the threads. Do not remove
this coating; the coating pre-
vents the pipe from unscrew-
ing. Once assembled, do not
remove the pipe.
FLUSH MOUNTING
For Low Ceilings
1. Tighten or remove pipe setscrew.

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 19 if
there is no separate wall switch
power wire for the light fixture.
Note: Wall switchesnot included.
