Step 3: Installation
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.
• 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.

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.
