Your new Hunter® ceiling fan is an addition to your home or office that will provide comfort and performance for many years. is installation and operation manual gives you complete instructions for installing and operating your fan.
We are proud of our work. We appreciate the opportunity to supply you with the best ceiling fan available anywhere in the world.
Before installing your fan, for your records and warranty assistance, record information from the carton and Hunter nameplate label (located on the top of the fan motor housing).
Cautions and Warnings
• Read this entire manual carefully before beginning installation. Save these instructions.
• Use only Hunter replacement parts.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, attach the fan directly to the support structure of the building according to these instructions, and use only the hardware supplied.
• To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• 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.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade attachment system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan. Never insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or motor damage, do not use a solid-state speed control with this fan. Use only Hunter speed controls.

Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®
Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low Profile, Standard, or Angle 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.

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.
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.
Gathering the Tools
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.
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 efficiency, and energy savings.

Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the blade to the fan).
6-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets, insert
them by hand into the holes on the blades.
6-2. If your fan includes medallions:
Place each blade between a blade iron and medallion. Install three blade
screws to attach the medallion to the blade iron. Repeat for all blades.
If your fan includes standard blade irons:
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. is is normal.
6-3. Some blade mounting screws are installed in the motor to secure
shipping blocks. Remove the blade mountings screws and rubber bumpers from the motor. Save the screws and discard the bumpers.
6-4. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the blade iron,
and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws.

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 Off.
• 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. 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 finishes, 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 finish.
8-5. Clean wood finish 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 finish.
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the opposite position. Restart fan.
