Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®

Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low
Prole, Standard, or Angled mounting. e steps in this manual include
instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.

Considering Optional Accessories

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.

For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase
Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability and
wobble-free performance.

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:

• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceiling.

• Drill holes for and install wood screws.

• Identify and connect electrical wires.

• Lift 40 pounds.

If you need help installing the fan, your Hunter fan dealer can direct
you to a licensed installer or electrician.

You will need the following tools for installing the fan:

• Electric drill with 9/64” bit

• Standard screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)

• Phillips-head screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)

• Wrench or pliers

• Ladder (height dependent upon installation site)

Checking Your Fan Parts

Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Refer to
the included Parts Guide. Check for any shipping damage to the motor
or fan blades. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter
dealer or call Hunter Technical Support Department at 888-830-1326
(In Canada, call 1-866-268-1936).

Installing Multiple Fans?

If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades and
blade irons (if applicable) in sets,
as they were shipped.

Preparing the Fan Site

Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in
the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan
location and attachment to the building structure are essential for
safety, reliable operation, maximum eciency, and energy savings.

2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the

outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.

2-2. Your fan comes with four neoprene noise isolators (“Isolators”).

Position the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by
inserting the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the
ceiling plate.

2-3. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole

in the middle of the ceiling plate.

2-4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you

drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.

Note: e isolators should be ush against the ceiling.

2-5. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” wood screws and pass

the screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the
pilot holes you drilled.

Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants

on the screws. Do not over tighten.
