1 • Getting Ready To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following: • Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable 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, your Hunter fan dealer can direct you to a licensed installer or electrician.
2 • Installing the Hanger Bracket 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. Isolator Hanger Bracket Note: Your fan comes with four pre-installed neoprene noise isolators. 2-2. Thread the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole in the middle of the hanger bracket. 2-3. Align the slotted holes in the hanger bracket with the pilot holes you drilled in the wood support structure.
3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan You can assemble your fan for standard or angled mounting as shown in steps 3-1 – 3-3. For low profile mounting (ceilings less than 8 feet high), go to steps 3-6 – 3-9 on the next page. 3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a flat or angled ceiling, place the canopy and canopy trim ring around the adapter so that they rest on the fan assembly. 3-2. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod.
3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan (Low Profile Only) You can assemble your fan for standard or angled mounting as shown in steps 3-1 – 3-3 on the previous page. For low profile mounting (ceilings less than 8 feet high), see steps 3-6 – 3-10 on this page. 3-6. Remove the screws from the hanger ball bracket. 3-7. Place the low profile washer from the parts sack into the canopy. 3-8. Place the canopy trim ring and canopy with washer on top of the fan assembly. 3-9.
4 •Wiring the Fan All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a qualified electrician. Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch in accordance with national and local electrical codes. 4-1. Before attempting installation, make sure the power is still off. 4-2. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place a wire connector over them, then twist clockwise until tight.
5 • Installing the Canopy and Canopy Trim Ring 5-1. Partially install two canopy screws (about 2 full turns) in the hanger bracket. Steps 5-1 – 5-2 Hanger Bracket 5-2. Raise the canopy over the hanger bracket. Align partially installed screws with key slots in canopy. 5-3. Twist canopy clockwise to secure. 5-4. Install third & fourth canopy screw in round hole on canopy. Securely tighten all four screws. 5-5. Using both hands, push the canopy trim ring up to the top of the canopy.
6 • Assembling the Blades Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the blade to the fan). 6-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets, insert them by hand into the holes on the blades. Step 6-1 (Detail) 6-2. Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose after screws are tightened. This is normal. 6-3.
7 • Installing the Switch Housing 7-1. To attach the upper switch housing, partially install two housing assembly screws into the switch housing mounting plate. 7-2. Feed the upper plug connector through the center opening of the housing. 7-3. Align the keyhole slots in the housing with the housing assembly screws. 7-4. Turn the housing counterclockwise until the housing assembly screws are firmly situated in the narrow end of the keyhole slots. Install the remaining screw into the housing.

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. • The chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into the connector. 8-3.

Check the plug connection in the switch housing. 4. Push motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure that the switch is engaged. 5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on. 6. Remove the shipping bumpers. Problem: Noisy operation. 1.
