Installation Instructions for
Hunter Original Ceiling Fans
IMPORTANT! Read and save
these instructions!
Read this entire manual thoroughly before
beginning installation.
WARNINGS
• To avoid possible electrical shock, before
wiring fan, disconnect power by turn-
ing off the circuit breakers both to the
outlet box and to its associated wall
switch location. If you cannot lock the
circuit breakers in the off position, se-
curely fasten a prominent warning de-
vice, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• All wiring must be in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. If you
are unfamiliar with wiring, you should
use a qualified electrician.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, in-
stall the fan only to the building struc-
ture according to these instructions and
use only the hardware supplied.
CAUTIONS
• NEVER REST THE FAN ON THE SWITCH
HOUSING. As you prepare the fan for
installation, rest the motor in the liner in
which it was packed.
• Be sure to put full contents of the oil tube
into the fan according to the instructions.
• If this fan is used as a replacement for an
Original Old-Tyme nonreversible fan, it
must be installed per the instructions in-
cluded with this fan. DO NOT HANG THIS
FAN ON A SINGLE “J” HOOK. Failure to
do so could result in the fan falling.
• To reduce the risk of noise and to ensure
proper fan operation, do not use a solid-
state speed control with this fan. Use
Hunter speed controls for Hunter Origi-
nals only.
Installing Your Hunter
Ceiling Fan
Note To Installers: Please leave this manual
with the home owner.
Tools needed:
• Pliers • 3/8" Socket Wrench
• 11/64" drill bit • Flat blade screwdriver
• Electric drill • Phillips screwdriver
• 4" x 1-1/2" standard octagon electrical box
Step 1: Pre-Installation
1. Select the installation site: Normally this is near
the center of the room, often replacing a light
fixture. Make certain that ample clearance is
left for the rotating fan blades. For maximum
efficiency, no obstructions (walls, posts, etc.)
should be within 24" of the tips of the blades.
See Figure 1.
NOTE: Mounting should also meet the
precautions listed in Step 3.

2. Fan mounting height: Your Hunter fan comes
with the proper hardware to hang the fan from
a standard 8 foot ceiling so that the fan blades
will be 12" from the ceiling and approximately
7 feet from the floor. See Figure 1.
NOTE: On Vaulted ceilings, up to 45° pitch, you
must use the Hunter Vaulted Ceiling Mounting Kit.
• Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the
fan. A mild detergent will clean and re-
store most units to their original beauty.
