Preparing the Fan Site
Step 1 - Choose the Fan Site
Proper ceiling fan location and attachment to the building
structure are essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum
efficiency, and energy savings.
30” From
Wall or
8’ Minimum
Ceiling
Choose a fan site where:
Nearest
• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades during
normal operation.
Obstruction
7’ Minimum
Blades to
Floor
Height
• e fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the ceiling is
at least 8 feet high.
• e fan blades have no obstructions to airflow, such as walls or
posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.
• e fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will hold the
outlet box and the full weight of the fan.

Checklist for Existing Fan Site
Fan Support
System
If you want to use an existing fan site, complete the following checklist to
determine if the site is acceptable and safe for your new Hunter fan. If you
cannot check off every item, prepare a new fan site as described on this
page.
Fan Support System
• Fan attaches directly to building structure.
• Fan support system will hold full weight of the fan and light kit.
Ceiling Hole
• e outlet box clearance hole is directly below the joist or support brace.
Outlet Box
• e outlet box is an UL-approved octagonal 4” x 1-1/2” outlet box (or as
specified by the support brace manufacturer).
• e outlet box is secured to the joist or support brace by wood screws
and washers through the inner holes of outlet box.
• e outer holes of the outlet box are aligned with joist or support brace.
• e bottom of the outlet box is recessed a minimum of 1/16” into
ceiling.

Preparing the Fan Site (continued)
Step 2 - Cut the Ceiling Hole
2-1. Locate the site for the ceiling hole directly below the joist or support brace that
will hold the outlet box and fan.
2-2. Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling. You will use
the hole to install the support brace and outlet box.
Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary
Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole. If the joist is there,
determine if it is positioned to allow you to recess the outlet box a minimum of
1/16” into the ceiling. If NOT, install a support brace as follows:
3-1. Attach a 2” x 4” support brace between two joists. Position it to allow you to
recess the bottom of the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.
Steps 2 – 3
3-2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight of the fan and
light kit.
Step 4 - Install the Outlet Box
4-1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4” x 1-1/2” outlet box, plus two #8 x 1-1/2”
wood screws and washers, available from any hardware store or electrical supply
house.
4-2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in the box align
with the joist or support brace.
4-3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64”)
through the inner holes of the outlet box.
Step 4
4-4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist with two #8 x 1-1/2”
wood screws and washers. e bottom of the outlet box must be recessed a
minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.
Step 5 - Prepare the Wiring
5-1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and associated wall
switch location are turned off . 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.
5-2. read the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the fan supply line
extends at least 6” beyond the box.
5-3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved connector,
available at any hardware store or electrical supply house.
5-4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards and ANSI/NFPA
70.
Step 5
CAUTION: All wiring must be in
accordance with national and local
electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If
you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a

Considering Optional Accessories
Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
Standard Mounting hangs from the
ceiling by a downrod (included).
For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase
Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use

10 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
10-1.Turn on electrical power to the fan.
10-2.e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e 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.
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.
10-3.e light pull chain controls the power to the light fixture. e
chain has two settings: ON and OFF.
In warm weather, use
downward air flow pattern
10-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft.
10-5.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. You may use
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will
damage the finish.
10-6.Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the
same manner as the fan finish.
In cold weather, use upward
air flow pattern
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.

Problem: Excessive wobbling
1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit
and instructions to balance the fan.
2. Tighten all blade iron screws.
3. Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that the
hanger ball is properly seated.
Problem: Lights turn off when installed or dim when turned on
1. Check to make sure the wattage and type of light bulbs installed
match the specifications on the light socket.
Problem: Lights shut off suddenly
1. Turn the power to the fan off at the wall switch. Wait 30 seconds,
then resume power to the fan.
