Turn off electrical power at breaker!
1. Press the plastic clips onto the support bars. The short bar (or bottom bar) will have a clip on each end and should be
pressed into the bottom hole of the clips (figure 1). The long bar (or top bar) will have a clip on one end and it should be
fitted into the top hole of the clip (figure 2).
2. Using the electrical box as a template, mark and cut out a hole in the ceiling tile where the fan is to be installed.
3. Using the electrical box bracket provided, loosely attach the box to the 24” support bar with the locknut (figure 3).
NOTE: FOR HUNTER ORIGINAL FANS:
Install the two coupling nuts on top of the locknuts that hold the box on the bar and tighten securely. (Do not remove the
locknuts).Use the two 10-24 x 1” screws to mount the Hunter “U" hook (provided with the fan) onto the coupling nuts and
tighten securely (figure 4). Do not overtighten.
4. Center the electrical box over the hole in the ceiling tile and snap the ends of the support bar down onto the ceiling grid
(figure 5).
5. Tighten the locknuts inside the electrical box to clamp it to the support bar (figure 6).
6. Slide the stabilizer bar through the electrical box bracket and snap the end onto the ceiling grid (figure 7).
7. Tighten the locknut at the top of the electrical box bracket so that it clamps the stabilizer bar securely (figure 8).
8. Using the S-hooks provided, secure the Saf-T-Chain
®
to the supporting structure above, centering the chain directly
over the electrical box (figure 9). NOTE: The long chain should be attached to the support and use the shorter chain
for centering.
9. Using one of the S-hooks, attach the chain to the turnbuckle at the top of the electrical box bracket. Use the turnbuckle to
adjust the chain so that all of the weight is supported by the chain
and not by the ceiling grid (figure 10).
