operation, maximum efficiency, and
energy savings. For this reason, we
have included a separate booklet —

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

“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-

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.
