Installation and Operation Manual For Hunter Ceiling Fans

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE

1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the outermost holes on the outlet box. The pilot holes should be 9/64" in diameter.

2. Thread the lead wires from the outlet box through the hole in the middle of the ceiling plate.

3. Your fan comes with two neoprene noise isolators. Position the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by inserting the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the ceiling plate. Refer to Figure 2a.

Figure 2a - Adding Isolators to Ceiling Plate

4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes in the wood support structure.

Note: The isolation pads should be flush against the ceiling.

For Angle Mounting Only: Be sure to orient the ceiling plate so that the two hooks point up towards the ceiling peak as shown in Figure 2b.

Note: You will use the hooks to support the fan during STEP 4 - WIRING THE FAN.

5. Place a flat washer on each of the two 3" screws and pass the screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate as shown in Figure 2c.

6. Tighten the screws into the 9/64" pilot holes; do not use lubricants on the screws. Do not overtighten.
