INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER ORIGINAL® CEILING FANS

Step 3: Installation of Ceiling Mounting Hardware to the ceiling.

CAUTION! Your Hunter ceiling fan weighs up to 50 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety, and to ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.

1. Secure a metallic outlet box 4" x 1-1/2" or 4" x 1/2" deep to a 2" x 4" cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown in Figure 3. The outletbox must be recessed in the ceiling by 1/16" minimum.

Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by drilling two (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 use in Step 3 sub-step 2.

CAUTION! Do not use a lubricant on the screws.

2. Drill two (2) 1/4" diameter holes 2-9/16" apart through the back of the outlet box into the cross brace. There may be two holes at the correct spacing, but they will probably have to be enlarged.

3. Use the two (2) bracket screws to secure the hanger bracket and canopy plate to the joist as shown in Figure 4.

Install the rubber bumpers into the canopy plate and the rubber bushing in the hanger bracket before assembling the parts to the ceiling joist.

CAUTION! Do not use a lubricant on the screws.
