Installation and Operation Manual For Hunter Ceiling Fans

STEP 7 - ATTACHING THE SWITCH HOUSING

The switch housing is made up of two sections: the upper switch housing, and the lower switch housing.

ATTACHING THE UPPER SWITCH HOUSING

1. Partially install two #6-32 x 3/8" housing assembly screws into the switch housing mounting plate as shown in Figure 7a.

Figure 7a - Attaching Upper Switch Housing to Switch Housing Mounting Plate

2. Feed the upper plug connector through the center opening of the upper switch housing. See Figure 7a.

3. Align the keyhole slots in the upper switch housing with the housing assembly screws installed in sub-step 1.

4. Turn the upper switch housing counterclockwise until the housing assembly screws are firmly situated in the narrow end of the keyhole slots as shown in Figure 7b. Install the one remaining #6- 32 x 3/8" housing assembly screw into the third hole in the upper switch housing. Tighten all three screws firmly.

CAUTION Make sure the upper switch housing is securely attached to the switch housing mounting plate. Failure to properly attach and tighten all three housing assembly screws could result in the switch housing and light fixture falling.

ATTACHING THE LOWER SWITCH HOUSING

Your hunter fan includes one of two lower switch housings. Both lower switch housings are shown in Figures 7c, 7d and 7e. The type of lower switch housing you have depends on whether your fan includes a light fixture, and if so, what type of light fixture it is. Use table 7-1 to assist you.

If your fan has a lower switch housing as shown in Figure 7c, and you ARE installing an accessory light kit or single-globe light fixture included with your fan, go directly to STEP 8 - INSTALLING LIGHT FIXTURE.

If your fan has a lower switch housing as shown in Figure 7c and you ARE NOT installing a light fixture, or if your fan has a lower switch housing as shown in Figure 7d or 7f, complete the following steps:

1. Connect the upper plug connector from the motor to the lower plug connector in the lower switch housing assembly. See Figure 7f.

Note: Both plug connectors are polarized and will only fit together one way. Make sure that both connectors are properly aligned before connecting them together. Incorrect connection could cause improper operation and damage to the product.

2. Place the lower switch housing assembly over the upper switch housing. Align the side screw holes in the upper and lower switch housings. Attach the lower switch housing to the upper switch housing with three #6-32 x 3/8" housing assembly screws. See Figure 7f.

Note: If your fan does not include a light fixture, you may purchase an accessory light kit separately. See STEP 8 - INSTALLING LIGHT FIXTURE.
