Hunter 41535-01 Installation Instructions

Caution!
1. Read entire instructions before beginning installation.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, be certain electric-
ity is shut off at main panel before wiring.
3. All wiring must be in accordance with national and lo-
cal electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring,
you should use a qualified electrician.
4. To reduce the risk of personal injury, install the fan only
to the building structure according to these instructions,
and use only the hardware supplied.
WARNING!
1. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use
a solid state speed control with this fan.
2. 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 the rotating fan blades.
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 pre-
cautions listed in Step 3 below.
B. Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall
or plaster ceiling. You will need a 4" x 1-1/2" or 4" x 1/
2" octagon outlet box and wire nuts (3) which can be
purchased from any hardware store or electrical sup-
ply house.
C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the
floor. For maximum efficiency, they should not have
any obstruction (walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the
blade tips. See Figure 1 for mounting distances.

Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A. Unpack the fan carefully to avoid any damage to the
components.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor assem-
bly and the fan blades. If more than one fan is being
installed, keep the matched and balanced fan blades
in sets of five as they were shipped. Should one of the
fan blades become damaged during shipment, return
all blades in the set for replacement.
C. Check contents to be certain it contains a bag of parts.
Step 3: Installation of Outlet Box and
Rough-In Wiring
Caution: Your Hunter ceiling fan with accessories can
weigh up to 35 pounds. The following precautions must
be taken for safety and to ensure that your fan is se-
curely mounted to the ceiling.
• Be certain electricity is "off" at the 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
pound 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 are aligned with the 2 x 4 brace.
Caution: Do not use lubricant on screws.
