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.)

ceiling to the green ground wire (grounding) from the ceiling plate
and the green ground wire (grounding) from the fan.

4-4. Connect the white wire (grounded) from the ceiling to the white

wire (grounded) from the fan.

4-5. Connect the remaining wires as follows:

(ungrounded) for the wall switch

Single Switch Wiring:

• e black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the black
(ungrounded) and the black/white wire (ungrounded) from
the fan

Wire
Connector

CAUTION: Be sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after

making connections.

4-6. Turn the wire connectors upward and push them carefully back

through the ceiling plate into the outlet box.

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. 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. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers

from the motor. Note: Some blade mounting screws are installed
in the motor to secure shipping blocks.

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.

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.

9-2. 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.

9-3. 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.

9-4. 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.

9-5. 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.

To Change Airow Direction

Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.
