Installing The Ceiling Plate - Hunter 42797-01 Owner's Manual And Installation Manual

CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,
disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box
and associated wall switch location. 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.
2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. The pilot holes should have a
diameter of 9/64 in.
2-2. Your fan comes with three neoprene noise isolators ("Isolators").
Position the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by
inserting the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the
ceiling plate.
2-3. Thread the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling plate.
2-4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you
drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.
Note: The isolators should be flush against the ceiling.
2-5. Place a flat washer on each of the two 3 in. wood screws and pass
the screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the
pilot holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64 in. pilot holes; do not use
lubricants on the screws. Do not over tighten.
