INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER LOW PROFILE CEILING FANSStep 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.
A. Secure a 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 in 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 woodscrews (5/64") and use two #8 x 1-1/2" woodscrews and washers. Use the innermost holes for securing the box. Orient the box so the outermost holes are aligned with the 2 x 4 brace. The outermost holes will be used in Step 4B. CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.
B. 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.
