WARNING!
1. Toreduce the riskof fireor electrical shock, do notuse
a solid state speed control with this fan.
2. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the
bladebrackets when installingthe brackets, balancing
the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign
objects in between the rotating fan blades.
Step 1: Pre-installation Instructions
A. Selectinstallation site. Checkto see thatin normal use
no object can come in contact with the rotating fan
blades. The mounting site should also meet the pre-
cautions listed in Step 3 below.
B. Installationhardware is includedfor a standard drywall
or plaster ceiling. You will need a 4" x 1-1/2" or 4" x 1/
2" octagon outlet box and wire nuts (3) which can be
purchased from any hardware store or electrical sup-
ply house.
C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the
floor. For maximum efficiency, they should not have
any obstruction (walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the
blade tips. See Figure 1 for mounting distances.
Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A. Unpack the fan carefully to avoid any damage to the
components.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor assem-
bly and the fan blades. If more than one fan is being
installed, keep the matched and balanced fan blades
in sets of five as they were shipped. Should one of the
fan blades become damaged during shipment, return
all blades in the set for replacement.
C. Checkcontents to be certain itcontains abag of parts.
Step 3: Installation of Outlet Box and
Rough-In Wiring
Caution: Your Hunter ceiling fan with accessories can
weighupto35pounds.Thefollowingprecautionsmust
be taken for safety and to ensure that your fan is se-
curely mounted to the ceiling.
• Be certain electricity is “off” at the fuse panel when
inspecting or repairing installation site.
• Allwiringmustmeetlocaland national electrical codes.
• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to
an electrical outlet box. Mounting must support a 35
pound fan with accessories.
A. Securemetallic outlet box 4" x1-1/2" or4" x 1/2" deep
to2x4crossbracebetweentwoceilingjoistsasshown
in Figure 2. The outlet box must be recessed into the
ceiling by 1/16" minimum. Secure the outlet box to the
crossbrace by drilling (2) pilot holes no larger than the
minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64") and use
two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. Use the
innermost holes for securing the box. Orient the box
sotheoutermostholes are aligned withthe2x 4 brace.
Caution: Do not use lubricant on screws.

ing connections. See Figure 3.
Step 5: Hanging of Motor
Caution: Do not lift motor by wires.
A. Liftthemotorandinserttheplastichangerintotheopen-
ing in the front of the hanger bracket. See Figure 7.
Make sure none of the wires are trapped between the
plastic hanger and the inside of the hanger bracket.
B. Rotatethe motor andplastic hanger assemblyuntilthe
lowerhalf of the plastic hanger fits into thesquareopen-
ing in the bottom of the metal bracket. Check the as-
semblyby trying torotate the motor and plastichanger
assembly. When properly installed the upper part of
the plastic hanger will sit flat inside the hanger and the
assembly will not rotate. See Figure 8.
Caution: Make sure plastic hanger cannot rotate in
metal bracket. Failure to check this could result in the
motor falling.
NOTE: The green ground wire attached to the plastic
hangershouldfacethe opening in thefrontofthemetal
hanger bracket.
Step 4: Installation of Ceiling Plate
A. Install the four (4) rubber bushings into the top of the
ceiling plate by inserting the small side of the bushing
into the four holes in the ceiling plate. See Figures 4
and 5.
B. Threadthe lead wiresthrough the openingin the topof
theceiling plate and throughthe opening inthe side of
the hanger bracket. See Figure 6.
Using the two center slots, attach the ceiling plate to the 2
x 4 brace supporting the outlet box. Use (2) #10
woodscrews 3" long for mounting through the outer-
most holes. Drill two pilot holes 9/64" diameter in the 2
x 4 brace for mounting screws. See Figure 6.
NOTE: When attaching the ceiling plate to the outlet box
support, make certain that bushings remain in place.
NOTE: Tighten the ceiling plate mounting screws only

Step 6: Final Wiring
A. Connect electrical supply leads to the leads from mo-
tor, using approved connectors. See Figure 9.
1. Connectblack electrical supplylead to theblack motor
lead and the black with white stripe motor lead (see
note).
2. Connect the white electrical supply lead to the white
motor lead.
3. Connect the ground wire to the green leads.
NOTE: Ifaseparatewallswitchwillbeused to control a light-
ingaccessory,connecttheblackwirewithawhitestripeto the
wallswitch lead, following wiring instructions included with
theaccessory. Thewallswitchmust be acceptable foruseasa
general-useswitch.
Caution: No bare wire or wire strands should be vis-
ible after making connections.
B. After making the wire connections, the wires should
be spread apart with the white and the green wires on
one side of the outlet box, and the black and black/
white wires on the other side of the box. The splices
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
the outlet box.
NOTE: If the wires are not pushed up into the outlet box,
they could strike the motor when it operates.
Step 8: Attaching and Balancing the
Blades
A. Attachwood blades toblade brackets using(3)screws
for each blade. See Figure 11. If your blades have
large holes you must first insert the rubber grommets
into the holes. See Figure 12.
NOTE:Grommets are usually assembledbyhand.If you use a
toolmakecertainyoudonotdamagethegrommetorbladewhen
insertingthegrommets.
Next, assemble the blade to the blade bracket. Make
sure all screws are tight to prevent vibration or wob-
bling. A cavity in the Styrofoam packaging has been
provided to nest the parts in during assembly to as-
surecorrect alignment ofparts. Even whenthe screws
are tight the blades may seem to be loose. This is nor-
mal when using grommets and will not be a problem.
