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.

1 • Getting Ready

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
(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 • 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.

Note: Your fan comes with four pre-installed neoprene noise

isolators.

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

in the middle of the hanger bracket.

2-3. 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 as shown in Illustration 2-3 (left or right view).

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

2-4. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” screws and pass the

screws through the slotted holes in the 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 angled mounting as shown
in steps 3-1 – 3-3. For low profile mounting (ceilings less than 8 feet
high), go to steps 3-6 – 3-9 on the next page.

3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a at or angled ceiling, place

the canopy and canopy trim ring around the adapter so that they
rest on the fan assembly.

3-2. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod.
Note: Make sure all the wires are on the same side of the metal

dowel pin inside the dowrod.

3-3. Loosen the square head setscrew 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 setscrew with a wrench or pliers.

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.

WARNING: Do not carry or lift fan by canopy.

3-4. Raise the fan and place the ball into the hanger bracket.
3-5. Align the notch on the ball with the indent in the hanger bracket.

(Rotate the fan until you hear the notch pop into place.)
