make sure it is a good fit.
To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the
power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with
the wall switch location.
Installing the Ceiling Bracket
You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location. Remove any existing bracket prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan’s box.

this manual.

Push the bare metal ends of the wires together and slide a wire nut over them.
Then, twist the wire nut clockwise until tight. Give it a gentle pull to make

into the outlet box. Spread the wires apart, with the grounded wires on one
side of the outlet box and the ungrounded wires on the other side of the
outlet box. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.
