IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DO YOU NEED HELP?

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you

can do the following:

• Locate ceiling joist or other suit-

able support in ceiling.

• Drill holes for and install wood

screws.

• Identify and connect electrical

wires.

• Lift 40 pounds.

If you need help installing the fan,

yourHunterfandealercan directyou

CAUTIONS

• Read entire booklet care-

fully before beginning in-

stallation.

• 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.

• Save these instructions.

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-

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 and

ANSI/NFPA 70- 1993. If you

are unfamiliar with wiring,

you should use a qualified

electrician.

• To reduce the risk of per-

sonal injury, do not bend

the Speed Ring™ blade at-

tachment system when in-

stalling, balancing, or

cleaning the fan. Never in-

sert foreign objects be-

tween rotating fan blades.

• To reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, or motor

damage, do not use a solid-

state speed control with

this 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

properfan supportandoutletbox 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: Ifinstallingmorethanonefan,

keep the fan blades in sets, as

shipped.

The fan packaging includes a sepa-

rate diagram of all screws and other

smallparts.Keepthis diagram handy

during installation.

If any parts are missing or damaged,

INSTALLER’S CHOICE®

This patented 3-position mounting

system gives you maximum flexibil-

ity and ease of installation. The steps

in this manual include specific in-

structions for the fan mounting

method of your choice. 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), for ceilings 8 feet

or higher. For ceilings higher than 8

feet, you can also purchase Hunter

extension rods. All Hunter fans use

sturdy 3/4" inner diameter pipe to

assure stability and wobble-free per-

formance.
