CAUTION:
1. Read entire instructions carefully before beginning
installation.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, be certain electricity is
shut off at main panel before wiring.
3. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you
should use a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
1. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use a
solid state speed control with this fan. Use Hunter Control
Model 22691.
2. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade
brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades
or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between
rotating fan blades.
Step 1: Pre-Installation Instructions
A. Select installation site. Check to make sure that in normal
use no object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades.
The mounting site should also meet the precautions listed in
Step 3 below.
B. Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall or
plaster ceiling. You will need a 4" x 11⁄2" or 4" x 1⁄2" outlet box
and wire nuts (2) which can be purchased from any hardware
store or electrical supply house.
C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the floor.
For maximum efficiency, they should not have any obstruction
(walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade tips. See Figure 1 for
mounting distances.
Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A. Unpack unit carefully to avoid any damage to the compo-
nents.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor and the fan
blades. If more than one fan is being installed, keep the matched
and balanced fan blades in sets, as they were shipped. Should
one of the fan blades become damaged during shipment, return
all blades in the set for replacement.
C. Check contents to be certain it contains a bag of parts.
Step 3: Installation of Outlet Box
and Rough-In Wiring
CAUTION: Your Hunter ceiling fan with accessories can weigh
up to 35 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety
and to ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.
• Be certain electricity is “OFF” at the fuse panel when
inspecting or repairing installation site.
• All wiring must meet local and national electrical codes.
• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to an elec-
trical outlet box. Mounting must support a 35 lb. fan with
accessories.
A. Secure a metallic outlet box 4" x 11⁄2" or 4" x 1⁄2" deep to
2 x 4 cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown in
Figure 2. The outlet box must be recessed in the ceiling by 1⁄16"
minimum. Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by drilling
(2) pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood-
screws (5⁄64") and use two #8 x 11⁄2" woodscrews and washers.
Use the innermost holes for securing the box. Orient the box so
the outermost holes are aligned with the 2 x 4 brace. The outer-
most holes will be used in Step 4B.
CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.
B. Bring electrical cable into the outlet box and attach with an
approved connector. Make certain that wiring meets all national
and local electrical codes. Wire leads should extend at least 6"
beyond outlet box for ease in making connections. See Figure 3.
