Caution!
Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A. Unpack the fan carefully to avoid any damage to the
1. Read entire instructions before beginning installation.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, be certain electric-
ity is shut off at main panel before wiring.
3. All wiring must be in accordance with national and lo-
cal electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring,
you should use a qualified electrician.
4. To reduce the risk of personal injury, install the fan only
to the building structure according to these instructions,
and use only the hardware supplied.
components.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor assem-
bly and the fan blades. If more than one fan is being
installed, keep the matched and balanced fan blades
in sets of five 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.
WARNING!
Step 3: Installation of Outlet Box and
Rough-In Wiring
1. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use
a solid state speed control with this fan.
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 the rotating fan blades.
Caution: Your Hunter ceiling fan with accessories can
weigh up to 35 pounds. The following precautions must
be taken for safety and to ensure that your fan is se-
curely 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 electrical outlet box. Mounting must support a 35
pound fan with accessories.
Step 1: Pre-installation Instructions
A. Select installation site. Check to see that in normal use
no object can come in contact with the rotating fan
blades. The mounting site should also meet the pre-
cautions listed in Step 3 below.
B. Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall
or plaster ceiling. You will need a 4" x 1-1/2" or 4" x 1/
2" octagon outlet box and wire nuts (3) which can be
purchased from any hardware store or electrical sup-
ply 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.

•
A. Secure metallic outlet box 4" x 1-1/2" 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 into 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 1-1/2" wood screws 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.
Caution: Do not use lubricant on screws.

Step 6: Final Wiring
A. Connect electrical supply leads to the leads from mo-
tor, using approved connectors. See Figure 9.
1. Connect black electrical supply lead to the black motor
lead and the black with white stripe motor lead (see
note).

2. Connect the white electrical supply lead to the white
motor lead.
3. Connect the ground wire to the green leads.
FIGURE 10
NOTE: If a separate wall switch will be used to control a light-
ing accessory, connect the black wire with a white stripe to the
wall switch lead, following wiring instructions included with
the accessory. The wall switch must be acceptable for use as a
general-use switch.
Step 8: Attaching and Balancing the
Blades
A. Attach wood blades to blade brackets using (3) screws
for each blade. See Figure 11. If your blades have
large holes you must first insert the rubber grommets
into the holes. See Figure 12.
Caution: No bare wire or wire strands should be vis-
ible after making connections.
NOTE: Grommets are usually assembled by hand. If you use a
tool make certain you do not damage the grommet or blade when
inserting the grommets.
B. After making the wire connections, the wires should
be spread apart with the white and the green wires on
one side of the outlet box, and the black and black/
white wires on the other side of the box. The splices
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
the outlet box.
Next, assemble the blade to the blade bracket. Make
sure all screws are tight to prevent vibration or wob-
bling. A cavity in the Styrofoam packaging has been
provided to nest the parts in during assembly to as-
sure correct alignment of parts. Even when the screws
are tight the blades may seem to be loose. This is nor-
mal when using grommets and will not be a problem.
NOTE: If the wires are not pushed up into the outlet box,
they could strike the motor when it operates.

A. Using two 8-32 by approximately 5/8” long screws from
sack parts, thread the plastic hanger locking screws
into the back of the hanger bracket. See Figure 9.
The screws should be driven all the way into the bracket
and tightened. The screws are located just above the
plastic hanger and prevent the motor from twisting when
the blades are assembled

Check and make sure all wiring is tucked up into the outlet
box.
B. Place the fan housing over the motor assembly and
fasten the housing to the ceiling plate using the four
screws provided (two into each side). See Figure 10.
FIGURE 12
Check and make sure the motor clears the opening in the
bottom of the housing.

B. Remove the screws from the motor hub. Insert one of
these screws in hole in blade bracket. Use a screw-
driver to hold in place. Align blade holes with mounting
holes in hub, by turning screw and readjusting blade
bracket until screw mates with threaded hole in hub.
Do not tighten until both screws have been put in blade
bracket. Repeat for all blades. See Figure 13.
C. A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan.
Should the fan wobble in operation, you may use this
kit to correct the balance per the instructions supplied
with the kit.

D. Turn the upper switch housing counterclockwise until
the housing assembly screws are firmly situated in the
narrow end of the keyhole slots as shown in Figure 15.
Install the one remaining #6-32 x 3/8" housing assem-
bly screw into the third hole in the upper switch hous-
ing. Tighten all three screws firmly.
Caution: Make sure the upper switch housing is se-
curely attached to the switch housing mounting plate.
Failure to properly attach and tighten all three hous-
ing assembly screws could result in the switch hous-
ing and light fixture falling.
Step 10: Attaching The Lower Switch
Housing
Warning:
•
To avoid possible electrical shock disconnect power
by turning off the circuit breakers both to the outlet box
and to its 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.
•
All wiring must be in accordance with national and lo-
cal electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are un-
familiar with wiring, you should use a qualified electri-
cian.
A. Connect the upper plug connector from the motor to
the lower plug connector in the lower switch housing
assembly. See Figure 16.
Note: Both plug connectors are polarized and will only fit
together one way. Make sure that both connectors are prop-
erly aligned before connecting them together. Incorrect
connection could cause improper operation and damage
to the product.

Step 11: Operation of Fan
A. Turn electrical service on at main panel.
B. Switch operates in this sequence: “high,” “medium,”
“low,” “off.” Pull chain slowly to operate. Also, release
the chain slowly so as to prevent chain from flying up
into blades, possibly resulting in damage to blades or
pull chain. The breakaway connector is designed to
separate from the chain at a predetermined force. If
this separation occurs, simply reinsert connector. It can
be reused again and again.
C. Motor is electrically reversible. When first operating fan,
determine direction of air flow. If you wish to change
direction, switch fan off and allow to stop. Slide revers-
ing switch to the opposite position and switch fan back
on.
