cautions and warnings

•Read entire booklet carefully before beginning instal- lation. Save these instructions.

•Use only Hunter replacement parts.

•To reduce the risk of personal injury, attach the fan directly to the support structure of the building ac- cording to these instructions, and use only the hard- ware supplied.

•To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the cir- cuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit break- ers 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 local electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a qualified elec- trician.

•To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade attachment system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan. Never insert foreign objects be- tween rotating fan blades.

•To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or motor damage, do not use a solid-state speed control with this fan. Use only Hunter speed controls.

gathering the tools

•Wrench or pliers

considering optional accessories

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall- mounted or remote speed control. To install and use the accesso- ries, follow the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.

checking your fan parts

Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Check for any shipping damage to the motor or fan blades. If one of the fan blades was damaged in shipment, return all the blades for re- placement.

NOTE: If you are installing more than one fan, keep the fan blades in sets, as they were shipped.

If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or call Hunter Parts Department at 888-830-1326.

choosing your mounting position

Standard Mounting (Figure 1) hangs from the ceiling by a downrod (included), for ceilings 8 feet or higher. For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use sturdy 3/4" diameter pipe to assure stability and wobble-free performance.
