Hunter Fan 41597-01 User Manual

CAUTION:

1. Read entire instructions carefully before beginning installation.

2. To avoid possible electrical 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 fire or electrical shock, do not use a solid

state speed control with this fan. Use Hunter Controls only.

2. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade

brackets when installing the brackets or cleaning the fan. Do

not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

3. To reduce the risk of personal injury, install the fan only to

the building structure according to these instructions, and use

only the hardware supplied.

Step 1: Pre-Installation Instructions

Select installation site. Check to see 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

below.

Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall or

plaster ceiling. You will need a 4” x 1-1/2” or a 4” x 1/2” outlet

box and wire nuts (2) which can be purchased from any hard-

ware store or electrical supply house.

The fan blades must be mounted at least 7’ above the floor.

For maximum efficiency, they should not have any obstruction

(walls, posts, etc.) within 24” of the blade tips. See Figure 1 for

mounting distances.

Step 2: Inspection of Fan

Unpack the fan carefully to avoid any damage to the components.

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.

Check contents to be certain it contains a bag of parts.

Step 3: Installation of Outlet Box and

Rough-In Wiring

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

repairing installation site.

• All wiring must meet local and national electrical codes.

• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to an

electrical outlet box. Mounting must support a 35 lb. fan with

accessories.

Secure metallic outlet box 4” x 1-1/2” or 4” x 1/2” deep to

2 x 4 cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown in Figure

2. The outlet box must be recessed into the ceiling by 1/16”

minimum. Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by drilling (2)

pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood screws

(5/64”) and use two #8 x 1-1/2” wood screws and washers. Use

the innermost holes for securing the box. Orient the box so the

outermost holes will be used in Step 4B.
CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.

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 3.
