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 precautions listed in Step 3 below.

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 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 lb. fan with accessories.

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 will be used in Step 4B.

CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.

2 X 4 BRACE

Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall or plaster ceiling. You will need a 4” x 1-1/2” or a 4” x 1/2” outlet box and wire nuts (2) which can be purchased from any hard- ware store or electrical supply house.
