INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUTDOOR USE
HUNTER CEILING FANS USING INSTALLER’S CHOICE MOUNTINGS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
1. Read entire instructions carefully before beginning installation.
2. To avoid possible shock, be certain electricity is shut off at
main panel before wiring.
3. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you
should use a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
1. 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
rotating fan blades.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury,
mount to outlet box marked suitable for fan support.
Step 1: Pre-Installation Instructions
A.
Select installation site. Check to make sure that in normal
use no object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades.
The mounting site should also meet the precautions listed in
Step 3.
B. Installation hardware is included for a standard ceiling. You
will need an outlet box listed as “Suitable for outdoor use.”
C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the floor.
For maximum efficiency, there should not be any obstruction
(walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade tips. See Figure 1 for
mounting distances.

Step 2: Inspection of Fan
A.
Unpack unit carefully to avoid any damage to the components.
B. Check for any shipping damage to the motor and the fan
blades. If more than one fan is being installed, keep the matched
and balanced fan blades in sets, 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
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.

Step 4: Installation of the Ceiling Plate
And Neoprene Cover
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.

B. If the fan is installed against a ceiling, insert the three rub-
ber spacers into the three round holes provided in the ceiling
plate. Locate the spacers between the ceiling plate and the neo-
prene cover. See Figure 4.
