Installing The Ceiling Bracket - Hunter Overton Installation Manual

You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location. Remove any existing
bracket prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan's box.
Do this first!
To avoid possible electrical shock, before
OFF
installing your fan, disconnect the power by
turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet
box associated with the wall switch location.
Option 1:
Machine Screws
Use machine screws
(provided with outlet box)
and washers when securing
to existing ceiling fan-rated
outlet box. Make sure it is
securely installed and is
acceptable for fan support of
31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.
For angled ceilings,
point opening
toward peak.
Follow below if you are using the downrod that came pre-assembled in your box. Need to
install a longer or shorter downrod? Check out the guide at the end of this manual.

SETSCREW
COMPLETELY
Back out the pre-installed setscrew
so that the setscrew's threads
are still engaged while the shank
does not protrude and obstruct the
insertion of the downrod.

Hunter Pro Tip:
The machine screws are the ones
that came with your outlet box.
Option 2:
Wood Screws
Use wood screws and
washers (included) when
securing to support structure
with approved electrical
outlet box. Drill 9/64" pilot
holes in support structure
to aid in securing ceiling
bracket with hardware found
in the hardware bag.
Trim the wires coming from
the fan so that 8-inches
remain coming from the top
of the downrod.
Hunter Pro Tip:
The ground wire attached to
the downrod is approximately
8 inches.
