IMPORTANT INFORMATIONnot lock the circuit break-ers in the off position, se-curely fasten a prominentwarning device, such as atag, to the service panel.

• All wiring must be in accor-dance with national and lo-cal electrical codes. If youare unfamiliar with wiring,you should use a qualifiedelectrician.

• To reduce the risk of per-sonal injury, do not bendthe blade attachment sys-tem when installing, bal-ancing, or cleaning the fan.Never insert foreign objectsbetween rotating fanblades.

• The fan blades cannot beplaced lower than 2,3mfrom the floor.

DO YOU NEED HELP?

To install a ceiling fan, be sure youcan do the following:

• Locate ceiling joist or othersuitable support in ceiling.

• Drill holes for and install woodscrews.

• Identify and connect electricalwires.

• Lift 16 kg.

If you need help installing the fan,your Hunter fan dealer can direct youto a licensed installer or electrician.

• The installation site musthave an all-pole switch witha minimum separation gapof 3 mm.

WARNINGS

• To avoid possible electricalshock, before installingyour fan, disconnect thepower by turning off thecircuit breakers to the out-let box and associated wallswitch location. If you can-

CAUTIONS

• Read entire booklet care-fully before beginning in-stallation and save theseinstructions.

• To reduce the risk of per-sonal injury, attach the fandirectly to the supportstructure of the building ac-cording to these instruc-tions, and use only thehardware supplied.

GATHERING THE TOOLS

You need the following tools to in-stall the fan:

• Electric drill with 9/64" bit andmasonry bit

• Standard screwdriver

• Phillips-head screwdriver

• Wrench or pliers

• Two M5 x 30 mm expansion an-chors (for concrete ceilings only)

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Consider using Hunter’s optional ac-cessories, such as a wall-mounted orremote speed control. Follow the in-structions for installation and use in-cluded with each Hunter accessory.

For quiet and optimum performanceof your Hunter fan, use only Hunterspeed controls.

STEP 1 - GETTING READYPREPARING THE FAN SITE

Reliable operation, efficiency, andmaximum energy savings dependupon proper placement and attach-ment of the fan. For this reason, wehave included a separate booklet —“Guide to Choosing and Preparinga Ceiling Fan Site”— to help you se-lect the best location for your fan.The booklet also provides informa-tion to ensure your fan support andelectric outlet box meet UL-approvedsafety codes for ceiling fans.

The instructions in this installationmanual assume that you have usedthe “Guide to Choosing and Prepar-ing a Ceiling Fan Site” to pick thefan location and make certain theproper fan support and outlet box areinstalled.

CHECKING YOUR FAN PARTS

Carefully unpack your fan parts toavoid damage. Check for shippingdamage. If one of the fan blades isdamaged, return all blades for re-placement.

Hint: If installing more than one fan,keep the fan blades in sets, asshipped.

EASY LOCKTM BLADE SYSTEM

Your new Hunter ceiling fan includesour exclusive Easy LockTM blade as-sembly which locks the blades inplace without tools and eliminates upto 40 parts. It also allows easy re-moval of the blades for cleaning.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood

support structure through the out-ermost holes on the outlet box.The pilot holes should be 9/64"in diameter and 4 1/4" (110mm)apart. See Figure 2a.

2. Insert the 3 rubber isolators intothe 3 round holes in the ceilingplate as shown in Figure 2b.Thread the lead wires from theoutlet box through the openingin the middle of the ceiling plate.

3. Align two opposing oval slots inthe ceiling plate with the pilotholes in the wood support struc-ture. See Figure 2b.

ANGLE MOUNTINGFor Angle Mounting be sure to orientthe Ceiling Plate so that the arrowsmarked on the plate are pointing to-wards the ceiling peak. See Figure 2b.

4. Place a flat washer on each of thetwo 3" wood screws and pass thescrews through two opposing ovalslots in the ceiling plate, as shownin Figure 2c. You may substitutethe 3" wood screws with the pro-vided 1 1/2" wood screws forshorter depth installations. Be surethat enough of the screws entersthe mounting surface to supportthe assembled fan.

WARNING

• To avoid possible electricalshock, before wiring fan,disconnect power by turn-ing off the circuit breakersboth to the outlet box andto its associated wall switchlocation. If you cannot lockthe circuit breakers in theoff position, securely fastena prominent warning de-vice, such as a tag, to theservice panel.

• All wiring must be in accor-dance with national andlocal electrical codes. If youare unfamiliar with wiring,you should use a qualifiedelectrician.

Note: You must purchase the ex-pansion anchors separately. Drillthe holes in the ceiling to thedepth and diameter recom-mended by the manufacturer ofthe expansion anchors.

2. Drill two holes 110 mm (4,32")apart on either side of the mainsas shown in Figure 2d. The holesare for M5 x 30 mm expansionanchors.

3. Drive the expansion anchors intothe holes until the ends of the an-chors are flush with the ceiling.See Figure 2e.

5. Tighten the screws into the 9/64"pilot holes.

Note: The rubber isolators in the ceil-ing plate should be compressedagainst the ceiling. Do not over-tighten.

FOR CONCRETE CEILINGS1. Locate the electrical supply mains

in the ceiling.

STEP 3 - ASSEMBLING THE FAN1. Remove the Pipe Setscrew. Note:

Save the Pipe Setscrew for pos-sible future use in Standard orAngle Mounting. With the fan as-sembly resting level in the pack-ing foam, first feed the wiring har-ness thorough the center of theupper canopy, followed by thelower canopy, then through thehanger bracket, and lastly throughthe low profile adapter. Seefigure 3a.

2. Fit the low profile adapter downinside the hanger bracket, align-ing the flat section on the lowprofile adapter with the flat sec-tion in the hanger bracket. Toclear the two screws that projectinto the hanger bracket, you mayneed to tip the flat section of thelow profile adapter down slightly,while inserting it into the hangerbracket. See figure 3b.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire,electrical shock, or motordamage, do not lift or carrythe fan by the lead wires.

• To prevent damage to thewires on the bottom of thefan assembly, do not sit fanon hard surface. Use foaminside box as support.

• The pipe adapter has a spe-cial coating on the threads.Do not remove this coating;the coating prevents thepipe from unscrewing.Once assembled, do not re-move the pipe.

STEP 5 - WIRING THE FAN WARNING

• To avoid possible electricalshock, before wiring fan,disconnect power by turn-ing off the circuit breakersboth to the outlet box andto its associated wall switchlocation. If you cannot lockthe circuit breakers in theoff position, securely fastena prominent warning de-vice, such as a tag, to theservice panel.

• All wiring must be in accor-dance with national andlocal electrical codes. If youare unfamiliar with wiring,you should use a qualifiedelectrician.

• Failure to complete the substeps 1-3 below could resultin the fan falling.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, elec-trical shock, or motor damage,do not lift or carry the fan bythe lead wires.

1. Disconnect the power by turningoff the circuit breakers to the out-let box and associated wall switchlocation.

2. Carefully lift the fan assembly andposition the hanger bracket withthe ceiling plate as shown in Fig-ure 5a.

3. Rotate the hanger bracket until thethree tabs on the hanger bracketare fully engaged in the three slotsin the ceiling plate. See Figure 5b.Being careful to not allow thehanger bracket to rotate, tempo-rarily install one of the three #6-32

STEP 6 - INSTALLING THE CANOPY2. Raise the lower canopy up over

the hanger bracket and align thethree holes in the lower canopywith the three holes in the ceilingplate and the three threadedscrew holes on the hanger bracketas shown in Figure 6a. You mayneed to slightly spread the tabsapart on the lower canopy to alignthem with the holes on the ceil-ing plate and hanger bracket.

3. Install and securely tighten thethree #6-32 x 3/8" screws.

4. Raise the upper canopy and alignthe three screw holes in the up-per canopy with the threethreaded holes in the ceiling plate.Install and tighten the three #6-32 x 1/4" screws as shown in Fig-ure 6b.

WARNING

• When removing the #6-32x 3/8" screw that was tem-porarily installed in STEP 5- WIRING THE FAN, do notallow the hanger bracket torotate in the ceiling plateas this could cause the fanto fall.

• Failure to complete sub-steps 1 through 3 couldcause fan to fall.

1. Being careful to not allow thehanger bracket to rotate in theceiling plate, remove the single#6-32 x 3/8" screw that was in-stalled in STEP 5 - WIRING THEFAN, sub step 3.
