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. 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. Never insert foreign
objects 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.
• Identify and connect electrical
wires.
• Lift 16 kg.
If you need help installing the fan,
your Hunter fan dealer can direct
you to a licensed installer or elec-
trician.
WARNINGS
• To avoid possible electri-
cal 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
according to these instruc-
tions, and use only the
hardware supplied.

GATHERING THE TOOLS
You need the following tools to in-
stall the fan:
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers
PREPARING THE FAN SITE
Reliable operation, efciency, and
maximum energy savings depend
upon proper placement and attach-
ment of the fan. This fan should be
installed on a previously installed
J-Hook or U-Hook.
STEP 1 - GETTING READY
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
replacement.
Hint: If installing more than one fan,
keep the fan blades in sets, as
shipped.
Standard Mounting (Figure 1) hangs
from the ceiling by a connector
pipe (included), for ceilings 2.3 m
or higher. For ceilings higher than
2.3 m.

STEP 2 - ASSEMBLING THE FAN
1. Feed the wires and the steel ca-
ble support from the fan through
the canopy and the pipe.
2. Screw pipe into fan assembly until
tight. IMPORTANT! Tighten pipe
setscrew as shown in Figure 2.
CAUTION
• The pipe adapter has a spe-
cial coating on the threads.
Do not remove this coat-
ing; the coating prevents
the pipe from unscrewing.
Once assembled, do not
remove the pipe.
WARNING
• Failure to complete the
steps above properly could
result in the fan falling.

STEP 3 - HANGING THE FAN
Hang fan from the previously in-
stalled J-Hook or U-Hook.
SECURING FAN TO SECOND-
ARY SUPPORT
1. Find the looped end of the braid-
ed cable and insert it through the
ceiling plate and one of the holes
in the outlet box into the ceiling.
2. Access the support brace in the
ceiling. You may not be able to
do this from below the ceiling
depending on your installation
site.
3. Drive a #10 x 38 mm (1-1/2")
wood screw and washer into the
side of the brace that holds the
outlet box. Leave 3 mm (1/8")
of space between the support
brace and the washer. Figure 3a - Installing the Wood Screw
into the Brace
Figure 3b - Hooking the Cable
Figure 3c - Tightening the Loop
4. Wrap the braided cable around
the support brace once creating
a complete circle.
5. Hook the looped end of the cable
over the wood screw so that the
braided cable lies between the
washer and the support brace.
See Figure 3b.
6. Tighten the loop and secure the
screw and washer all the way
down to the support brace. See
Figure 3c.
7. Coil up the excess cable. Return

ers both to the outlet box
and to its associated wall
switch location. If you can-
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-

STEP 5 - INSTALLING THE CANOPY
Figure 5 - Assembling the Canopy
1. Slide the canopy to where the
top is within 2 mm of the ceiling.
The canopy should not touch the
ceiling or it will cause noise and
possible wobble.
2. Insert and tighten the #6-32
canopy screw to hold the canopy
in place. Refer to Figure 5.
Note: Screws and screw holes
are provided and may be used
to better level the canopy.

the light and fan pull chains.
See Figure 7d.
6. Thread the light and fan pull
chains through the pull chain

3. Ceiling fans work best by blowing
air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather
to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the
fan draw air upward (clockwise
blade rotation) will distribute the
warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing
a draft. See Figure 8b.
OPERATING YOUR HUNTER FAN
Control switches are identied by
the following symbols:
Figure 8b - Air Flow Patterns
To change the direction of air
ow, turn the fan off and let it
come to a complete stop. Slide
the reversing switch on the fan to
the opposite position as shown in
Figure 8c. Restart fan.
4. If your fan wobbles when operat-
ing, use the enclosed balancing
kit and instructions to balance the
fan.
Figure 8c - Pull Chain and Reversing
Switch
1. Turn on electrical power to the
fan.
2. The pull chain controls power
to the fan. The chain has four
settings in sequence: High, Me-
dium, Low and Off.
• Pull the chain slowly to change
settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the
chain from recoiling into the
blades.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Caring for blades: Wood finish
blades should be cleaned with a
furniture polishing cloth. Occasion-
ally, a light coat of furniture polish
may be applied for added protection
and beauty. Painted and high-gloss
blades may be cleaned in the same
manner as the fan nish.
If you need parts or service as-
sistance contact your Hunter Fan
retailer or visit our WEB site at:
http://www.hunterfan.com
Caring for nishes: For cleaning, a
soft brush or lint-free cloth should be
used to prevent scratching the n-
ish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle
can remove heavier dust. Surface
smudges or an accumulation of dirt
and dust can easily be removed by
using a mild detergent and a slightly
dampened cloth. An artistic agent
may be used, but never use abra-
sive cleaning agents as they will
damage the nish.
