INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER ORIGINAL® CEILING FANS

Step 1: Pre-Installation

1. Select the installation site: Normally this is near the center of the room, often replacing a light fixture. Make certain that ample clearance is left for the rotating fan blades. For maximum efficiency, no obstructions (walls, posts, etc.) should be within 24" of the tips of the blades. See Figure 1.

NOTE: Mounting should also meet the precautions listed in Step 3.

Figure 1

2. Fan mounting height: Your Hunter fan comes with the proper hardware to hang the fan from a standard 8 foot ceiling so that the fan blades will be 12" from the ceiling and approximately 7 feet from the floor. See Figure 1.

NOTE: On vaulted ceilings, up to 45° pitch, you must use the Hunter Vaulted Ceiling Mounting Kit.
