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-
dancewithnationalandlo-
cal electrical codes. If you
are unfamiliar with wiring,
you should use a qualified
electrician.
• To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury, do not bend
the blade attachment sys-
tem when installing, bal-
ancing,or cleaning the fan.
Neverinsertforeignobjects
between rotating fan
blades.
• The fan blades cannot be
placed lower than 2,3m
from the floor.
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.
• Drillholes for and install wood
screws.
• Identify and connect electrical
wires.
• Lift 16 kg.
If you need help installing the fan,
yourHunterfandealercandirect you
to a licensed installer or electrician.
• The installation site must
haveanall-pole switch with
a minimum separation gap
of 3 mm.
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
structureofthe building ac-
cording to these instruc-
tions, and use only the
hardware supplied.

GATHERING THE TOOLS
You need the following tools to in-
stall the fan:
• Electric drill with 9/64" bit and
masonry bit
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers
• Two M5 x 30 mm expansion an-
chors (for concrete ceilings only)
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Consider using Hunter’s optional ac-
cessories, such as a wall-mounted or
remote speed control. Follow the in-
structions for installation and use in-
cluded with each Hunter accessory.
Forquiet and optimum performance
of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter
speed controls.
STEP 1 - GETTING READY
PREPARING THE FAN SITE
Reliable operation, efficiency, and
maximum energy savings depend
upon proper placement and attach-
ment of the fan. 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
electricoutletboxmeetUL-approved
safety codes for ceiling fans.
The instructions in this installation
manual assume that you have used
the “Guide to Choosing and Prepar-
ing 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 parts to
avoid damage. Check for shipping
damage. If one of the fan blades is
damaged, return all blades for re-
placement.
Hint: Ifinstallingmorethan one fan,
keep the fan blades in sets, as
shipped.

tension rods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 2 cm inner diameter pipe to
assure stability and wobble-free per-
formance.
Angle Mounting (Figure1c)hangs
from a vaulted or angled ceiling.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE
1. Drill two pilot holes into the
wood support structure through
the outermost holes on the out-
let box. The pilot holes should be
9/64" in diameter and 4 1/4"
(110mm) apart. See Figure 2a.
2. Insert the 3 rubber isolators into
the 3 round holes in the ceiling
plate as shown in Figure 2b.
Thread the lead wires from the
outlet box through the opening
in the middle of the ceiling plate.
3. Align two opposing oval slots in
the ceiling plate with the pilot
holes in the wood support struc-
ture. See Figure 2b.
ANGLE MOUNTING
For Angle Mounting be sure to orient
the Ceiling Plate so that the arrows
marked on the plate are pointing to-
wards the ceiling peak. See Figure 2b.

4. Place a flat washer on each of the
two3" wood screws and pass the
screws through two opposing
oval slots in the ceiling plate, as
shown in Figure 2c.You may sub-
stitute the 3" wood screws with
the provided 1 1/2" wood screws
for shorter depth installations.
Besurethatenoughofthe screws
enters the mounting surface to
support the assembled fan.
WARNING
• To avoid possible electrical
shock, before wiring fan,
disconnect power by turn-
ing off the circuit breakers
both to the outlet box and
toits associated wall switch
location. If you cannot lock
the circuit breakers in the
offposition, securely fasten
a prominent warning de-
vice, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
• All wiring must be in accor-
dance with national and
local electrical codes. If you
are unfamiliar with wiring,
you should use a qualified
electrician.

depth and diameter recom-
mended by the manufacturer of
theexpansion anchors.
2. Drill two holes 110 mm (4,32")
apart on either side of the mains
as shown in Figure 2d. The holes
are for M5 x 30 mm expansion
anchors.
3. Drive the expansion anchors into
theholes until the ends of the an-
chors are flush with the ceiling.
See Figure 2e.
5. Tighten the screws into the 9/64"
pilot holes.
Note: The rubber isolators in the
ceiling plate should be compressed
against the ceiling. Do not over-
tighten.

continued
1. Remove the Pipe Setscrew. Note:
Save the Pipe Setscrew for pos-
sible future use in Standard or
AngleMounting. Withthe fan as-
sembly resting level in the pack-
ingfoam,firstfeed the wiringhar-
ness thorough the center of the
upper canopy, followed by the
lower canopy, then through the
hangerbracket,and lastlythrough
the low profile adapter. See
figure 3a.
2. Fit the low profile adapter down
inside the hanger bracket, align-
ingtheflat sectiononthelowpro-
file adapter with the flat section
in the hanger bracket. To clear
the two screws that project into
thehangerbracket, you mayneed
to tip the flat section of the low
profile adapter down slightly,
while inserting it into the hanger
bracket. See figure 3b.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, or motor
damage, do not lift or carry
the fan by the lead wires.
• To prevent damage to the
wires on the bottom of the
fan assembly, do not sit fan
on hard surface. Use foam
inside box as support.
• The pipe adapter has a spe-
cial coating on the threads.
Donotremovethis coating;
the coating prevents the
pipe from unscrewing.
Once assembled, do not re-
move the pipe.

STEP 4 - WIRING THE FAN
WARNING
• To avoid possible electrical
shock, before wiring fan,
disconnect power by turn-
ing off the circuit breakers
both to the outlet box and
toits associated wall switch
location. If you cannot lock
the circuit breakers in the
offposition, securely fasten
a prominent warning de-
vice, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
• All wiring must be in accor-
dance with national and
local electrical codes. If you
are unfamiliar with wiring,
you should use a qualified
electrician.
• Failure to complete the sub
steps1-3belowcouldresult
in the fan falling.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, elec-
trical shock, or motor damage,
do not lift or carry the fan by
the lead wires.

CONNECTING FAN TO
ELECTRICAL SOURCE
Use Figures 4c, 4d and 4e for refer-
ence in making the following elec-
trical connections.
1. Connect the supply mains to the
terminal block mounted on the
hanger bracket.
2. Connect the safety earth (green/
yellow) wire to the terminal
marked .
3. Connect the blue neutral wire to
the terminal marked “N.”
4. Connect the brown line wire to
the terminal marked “L.”
Note: An additional “L” termi-
nal is provided for separate con-
trol of the light kit, if a separate
supply line is provided for that
purpose.
5. Connect the motor leads to the
harness assembly attached to the
hanger bracket and terminal
block. See Figure 4c, 4d and 4e.
Note: Unless there is a separate
line for the light kit, connect the
black/white wire and the brown
wire from the motor housing to
the same “L” terminal.

You may need to slightly spread
the tabs apart on the lower
canopy to align them with the
holes on the ceiling plate and
hanger bracket.
3. Install and securely tighten the
three #6-32 x 3/8" screws.
4. Raise the upper canopy and align
the three screw holes in the up-
per canopy with the three
threaded holes in the ceiling
plate.Installandtightenthethree
