Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling. You will use the hole to install the support brace and outlet box. Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole.

Loosen the square head setscrew on the adapter to install the pipe and ball assembly.
4 • Setting the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Setting DIP switches and Jumpers When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire to have the receiver/transmitter for each fan set to a different code, so that the operation of one fan does not affect the operation of the other fans. The DIP switches for the receiver are located on the flat surface of the receiver. The Jumpers for the transmitter are in the battery compartment.
5 • Wiring the Fan All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a qualified electrician. Antenna 5-1. Make sure the power is still off. 5-2. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place a wire connector over them, then twist clockwise until tight. For all these connections use the wire connectors provided.
6 • Installing the Canopy and Canopy Trim Ring 6-1. Partially install two canopy screws (about 2 full turns) in the hanger bracket. Steps 6-1 – 6-2 Hanger Bracket 6-2. Raise the canopy over the hanger bracket. Align partially installed screws with key slots in canopy. 6-3. Twist canopy clockwise to secure. 6-4. Install third & fourth canopy screw in round hole on canopy. Securely tighten all four screws. 6-5. Using both hands, push the canopy trim ring up to the top of the canopy.
7 • Assembling the Blades Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the blade to the fan). 7-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets, insert them by hand into the holes on the blades. Step 7-1 (Detail) 7-2. Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose after screws are tightened. This is normal. 7-3.
8 • Completing Your Installation With a Light Fixture 8-1. To attach the lower switch housing, connect the upper plug connector from the motor to the lower plug connector in the lower switch housing assembly. Plug Connector Note: Both plug connectors are polarized and will only fit together one way. Make sure the connectors are properly aligned before connecting them. Incorrect connection could cause improper operation and damage to the product. Shade 8-2.
