Co n tents LEGACY The Hunter legacy is not BEFORE YOU BEGIN only about quality—it’s Safety & Precautions about longevity. We Fan Placement invented the ceiling fan. Tools Needed In The Box We build fans that last, Pre-Installation Checklist fans that are designed as INSTALLATION fans.
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN Important Safety Information To prevent SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, and PROPERTY DAMAGE, you should read, understand, and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual before installing or operating the fan. READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual must always be kept with the fan and should remain with the fan if it is transferred or sold.

EVERY fan. The Retention Cable, if installed per Hunter Industrial specifications, can limit the distance the fan could fall in the unlikely event of mounting system failure. Failure to install and to secure the retention cable will void your warranty.
FAN PLACEMENT BEFORE YOU BEGIN ALWAYS MOUNT FAN SO THE BOTTOM EDGE OF BLADE TO THE FLOOR IS AT LEAST 10 FEET FROM THE FLOOR AND AT LEAST 25% OF FAN DIAMETER FROM THE CEILING. A large fan, 20 to 24 foot in diameter, performs best at 20 to 30 feet above the floor, but acceptable performance has been demonstrated as low as 10 feet and as high as 50 ft.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU BEGIN A structural engineer has approved the mounting structure. The location of the fan will allow for a minimum of two feet of blade clearance from any obstruction and at least 10 feet of clearance above the floor. The fan location will not be subjected to high winds.
