Ceiling height must be a minimum
of 9 feet.
The location of a ceiling fan and
how the fan is attached to the build-
ing structure are essential for reli-
able operation, maximum effi-
ciency, and energy savings. For this
reason, we have included a sepa-
rate booklet — “Guide to Choos-
ing and Preparing a Ceiling Fan
STEP 1 - GETTING READYSTEP 1 - GETTING READY
STEP 1 - GETTING READYSTEP 1 - GETTING READY
STEP 1 - GETTING READY
Site” — to help you select the best
location for your fan. The booklet
also provides information to ensure
your fan support and electric out-
let 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.

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.
If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at
901-248-2222.

hangs from the ceiling by a connec-
tor pipe (included), for ceilings 9
feet or higher. For ceilings higher
than nine feet, you can purchase
Hunter extension rods. All Hunter
fans use sturdy 3/4" diameter pipe
to assure stability and wobble-free
performance.

• To avoid possible electrical
shock, before wiring fan,
disconnect power by turn-
ing off the circuit breakers
both to the outlet box and
to its associated wall switch
location. If you cannot lock
the circuit breakers in the
off position, securely fasten
a prominent warning de-
vice, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
1. Drill two pilot holes into the 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. Thread the lead wires from the
outlet box through the hole in the
middle of the ceiling plate.
3. Position the three isolators be-
tween the ceiling plate and ceil-
ing by inserting the raised areas
on each isolator into the holes in
the ceiling plate. Refer to Figure
2a.
4. Align the slotted holes in the ceil-
ing plate with the pilot holes in
the wood support structure.
Note: The isolation pads should
