INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUTDOOR USE
HUNTER CEILING FANS USING INSTALLER’S CHOICE MOUNTINGS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Step 3: Installation
1. Read entire instructions carefully before beginning installation.
2. To avoid possible shock, be certain electricity is shut off at
main panel before wiring.
3. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you
should use a qualified electrician.
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
preparing the installation site.
• All wiring and installation must meet local and national elec-
trical codes.
WARNING:
1. 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
rotating fan blades.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury,
mount to outlet box marked suitable for fan support.
• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling. Mounting
must support a 35 lb. fan with accessories.
A. Bring electrical cable into the outlet box and attach with an
approved connector. Make certain that wiring meets all national
and local electrical codes. Wire leads should extend at least 6"
beyond outlet box for ease in making connections. See Figure 2.
Step 1: Pre-Installation Instructions
SUPPORTING STRUCTURE
A. Select installation site. Check to make sure 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.
B. Installation hardware is included for a standard ceiling. You
will need an outlet box listed as “Suitable for outdoor use.”
C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the floor.
For maximum efficiency, there should not be any obstruction
(walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade tips. See Figure 1 for
mounting distances.

And Neoprene Cover

CLEARANCE
A. Lay the neoprene cover over the ceiling plate. Orient so the
notch is aligned with the ground screw which protrudes through
the ceiling plate. See Figure 3. Pierce holes in the neoprene
through the slots in the ceiling plate at a spacing to match the
holes in the outlet box. Use the mounting screws to secure the
ceiling plate and neoprene cover to the outlet box. See Figure 4.

Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A. Unpack unit carefully to avoid any damage to the components.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor and the fan
blades. If more than one fan is being installed, keep the matched
and balanced fan blades in sets, as they were shipped. Should
one of the fan blades become damaged during shipment, return
all blades in the set for replacement.

B. If the fan is installed against a ceiling, insert the three rub-
ber spacers into the three round holes provided in the ceiling
plate. Locate the spacers between the ceiling plate and the neo-
prene cover. See Figure 4.

NOTE: Some Hunter fans require a special adaptor plate
between the switch housing and the light kit. This plate is pro-
vided with those fans which need it. It should be installed as
shown in Figure 5C. If the switch housing on your fan is 3-1/4"
diameter or less you do not need the adaptor, mount the light kit
directly to the switch housing.
B. Position (2) slots in canopy directly under and in line with
(2) mounting screws in ceiling plate. Lift fan until ceiling plate
mounting screws are seated in bottom of slots in canopy. Rotate
fan counterclockwise until both mounting screws drop into slot
recesses. Tighten screws securely. Install third screw into mount-
ing hole.
CAUTION: Failure to securely assemble the canopy screws
could result in the fan falling.
NOTE: For the hanging fan configuration, rotate fan until
groove in ball is positioned over tab in canopy. Make certain
groove and tab are engaged before running fan. See Figure 7.
Failure to do this could result in the fan falling.

NOTE: Attach each blade with the central line (ridge) facing
upward and flat side of blade facing downward. Correct installa-
tion is with the ridge upwards towards the ceiling.
FIGURE 5C
Step 7: Finish Fan Assembly
A. Attach wood blades to blade brackets using three screws
for each blade. See Figure 8. If your blades have large holes
you must first insert the rubber grommets into the holes. See
Figure 8A.
A. The ceiling plate has (3) mounting screw holes located on
the side. Lift up the rubber cover and install (2) #10-32 X 1/2"
Phillips round head screws halfway into two of these holes. See
Figure 6.
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.
Remove the fan from the ceiling plate hook. Make sure not to
break any wire connections. The canopy has (2) mating slots and
(1) mating hole. See Figure 6.
Next assemble the blade to the blade bracket. Make sure all
screws are tight to prevent vibration or wobbling.
RUBBER COVER
Even when the screws are tight, the blades may seem to be
loose. This is normal when using grommets and will not be a
problem.

B. Remove the screws and rubber bumpers from the motor
hub. Insert a mounting screw (provided) in hole in blade bracket.
Use a screwdriver 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 9.

C. A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan.
Should the fan wobble in operation, you may use this kit to cor-
rect the balance per the instructions supplied with the kit.

Step 9: 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 break-
away connector is designed to separate from the chain at a pre-
determined force. If this separation occurs, simply reinsert the
connector. It can be reused again and again. See Figure 9.

determine direction of air flow. If you wish to change direction,
switch fan off and allow to stop. Slide reversing switch to the
opposite position and switch fan back on. See Figure 9.
