If you need help installing the fan, your Hunter fan dealer can direct you to a licensed installer or electrician.
2 • Installing the Hanger Bracket CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. 2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the outermost holes in the outlet box. The pilot holes should be 9/64” in diameter.

Holding the wires out of the way, lift the motor assembly and place the square hanger into the opening in the ceiling plate. Step 3-1 WARNING: Make sure the square hanger can not rotate in the metal bracket. Failure to do so could result in the fan falling. 3-3.
