Pre-Installation Pre-Installation Select installation site: Normally this is near the center of the room, often replacing a light fixture. Make certain that ample clearance is left for the rotating fan blades. For maximum efficiency, no obstruction (walls, posts, etc.) should be within 30” of the tips of the blades (see Fig. 1). Your Hunter fan comes with the proper hardware to hang the fan from a 8 foot ceiling so the fan blades will be 12” from the ceiling and approximately 7 feet from the floor (see Fig.
Installing Ceiling Hardware ! CAUTION ! DO NOT USE LUBRICANT ON SCREWS 1. Drill two (2) 1/4” diameter holes 2-9/16” apart through the back of the outlet box into the cross brace 2" deep. These holes are for the U-bracket bolts. Install rubber bushing and pin into the u-bracket. Use a 11 mm wrench to install the (2) 3 1/2” lag bolts, found in the hardware bag, to secure the U-bracket to the joist (see Fig. 2).

Operation And Care 1. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, and Off. • Pull the chain slowly to change settings. • Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the blades. 2. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth.
