1 • Getting Ready

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:

• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceiling.
• Drill holes for and install wood screws.
• Identify and connect electrical wires.
• Lift 40 pounds.

If you need help installing the fan, your Hunter fan dealer can direct
you to a licensed installer or electrician.

Gathering the Tools

You will need the following tools for installing the fan:

• Electric drill with 9/64” bit
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers

Checking Your Fan Parts

Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Check
for any shipping damage to the motor or fan blades. If one of the fan
blades was damaged in shipment, return all the blades for replacement.

If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at 888-830-1326.

Preparing the Fan Site

Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in
the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan
location and attachment to the building structure are essential for
safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.

Installing Multiple Fans?
If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades in
sets, as they were shipped.
