Understanding Mounting
Hunter’s patented mounting system provides you maximum
installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in
one of two ways, depending on your preference: Standard or Angle
mounting. e steps in this manual include instructions for both
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.
Standard Mounting hangs from
the ceiling by a downrod (included),
recommended for ceilings 8 feet or higher
Angle Mounting recommended for a
vaulted or angled ceiling
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.

2 • Installing the Hanger Bracket
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. Align the slotted holes in the hanger bracket with the pilot holes
you drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment
use slotted holes directly across from each other. If you are
installing the fan on an angled ceiling, be sure to orient the hanger
bracket with the large opening towards the ceiling peak.
2-3. Use an indelible marker to mark the exact location of the pilot
holes relative to the slots on the hanger bracket. Remove the
hanger bracket.
2-4. Partially install two canopy screws (about 2 full turns) in the
hanger bracket.
2-5. Place the ceiling gasket over the hanger bracket so that the slots
and the raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots
and holes on the hanger bracket.
2-6. Use a 3” screw to pierce two holes in the ceiling gasket that match
the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1. Use the marks on the hanger
bracket from step 2-3 as your guide.
2-7. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling gasket and hanger bracket.
Note: e ceiling gasket should be ush against the ceiling.
2-8. Place a at washer on each of the two 3 ” screws and pass the
screws through the ceiling gasket and hanger bracket 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.

3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan
You can assemble your fan for standard or angle mounting as shown
in steps 3-1 – 3-7.
3-1. Remove the label from the standard mounting washer inside the

3-3. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod.
3-4. Screw the downrod into the fan assembly.
3-5. Using the provided allen wrench, loosen the allen head set screw
on the adapter to install the pipe and ball assembly. Note: When
the pipe and ball assembly is fully installed, 2-3 threads on the
pipe will still be visible; this is normal. Securely retighten the set
screw with the allen wrench.
CAUTION: e adapter has a special coating on the threads. Do
not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod from
unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.

wall switches. Follow Step 4-3 OR Step 4-4, depending on what you
decide.
Note: If you are not installing a light kit, follow step 4-4.
4-3. If you want to, you can control the fan and light separately using two
wall switches, connect the wires as follows:
• e bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the hanger bracket and the green ground wire
from the fan
• e white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• e black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan
• e black/white wire from the fan to the wire for the wall switch
4-4. Alternatively, you can control both fan and light with one switch. To
do so connect the wires as follows:
• e bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the hanger bracket and the green ground wire
from the fan
• e white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• e black wire from the ceiling to the black and the black/white
wire from the fan
4-5. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place a
wire nut over them, then twist clockwise until tight.

screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose
after screws are tightened. is is normal.

8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
8-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O.
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the
blades.
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.
8-3. To change airow direction, turn the fan o and let it come to
a complete stop. Pull the reversing pullchain one time and then
restart the fan.
Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft.
8-4. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will
damage the nish.
8-5. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the
same manner as the fan nish.
In warm weather, use
downward air ow pattern
In cold weather, use upward
air ow pattern
