If you have a at ceiling:

Hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans come
with a shorter downrod for a Low Prole installation.

A little more information on Angled Mounting:

For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod should
be used with your Hunter ceiling fan when installing on high or angled
ceiling. If your ceiling is angled greater than 34° you will also need an
Angled Mounting Kit. Longer downrods and the Angled Mounting Kit are
sold separately at HunterFan.com.

Hunter Pro Tip:

Determining if you need an Angled Mounting Kit:

Fold on the dotted line. Place against edge against
the wall. Slide towards the ceiling.

If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you
need an angled mounting kit.

If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling:

1. You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)

We know wiring is hard. Let’s make it easier.

Wiring the Fan

WARNING

Follow these steps to get your fan wired quickly and safely. Follow the route below that best matches your wall switch
setup. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or uncomfortable doing it yourself, please contact a qualied electrician.

Hunter Pro Tip:

Here is how to connect the wires:

Push the bare metal ends of the wires together and slide a wire
nut over them. Then, twist the wire nut clockwise until tight.

Give it a gentle pull to make sure none of the wires are loose.

Slide the remote
receiver onto the
top of the bracket.

Hunter Pro Tip:

Have extra wiring?

All wiring must be in accordance with
national and local electrical codes ANSI/NFPA

70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or in
doubt, consult a qualied electrician.

Turn the wires upward and push them carefully back through
the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Make sure that the
wires are still attached to the wire nuts.

Connect the black
(ungrounded) wire from
the ceiling to the black
wire from the receiver.

Connect the white (grounded)
wire from the ceiling to both
the white wire from the
receiver and the white wire
from the fan.

Reverse

Controlling Your Fan

Switch

Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft
(counterclockwise rotation) and updraft
(clockwise rotation). To change the direction
of air ow, turn the fan off and let it come to a
complete stop. The reversing switch is located
inside the light xture. It can only be accessed
when the glass is removed. Slide the reversing
switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.

Updraft (clockwise rotation)
creates a more indirect airow.
Updraft airow is great for
moving warm air downward.

Downdraft (counterclockwise
rotation) creates a direct breeze
and maximum cooling effect.

• Make sure power switch is on.

• Check the circuit breaker to ensure the power is turned on.

• Make sure the blades spin freely.

• Turn off power from the circuit breaker, then loosen the canopy
and check all the connections according to the wiring diagram.

• Make sure the blades are properly installed on the blade iron
posts.

• Turn the power off, support the fan carefully, and check that the
hanger ball is properly seated.

• Make sure the blades are properly installed.

• Check to see if any of the blades are cracked. If so, replace all of

the blades.

• Make sure the battery is installed correctly.

• Install a fresh battery.

• If you have multiple remotes or multiple remote-controlled fans
installed on the same circuit breaker and you are experiencing
interference or faulty operation of your remote controls, please
go to
www.HunterFan.com/FAQs and click “How do I properly install
multiple remote-controlled fans?” for information on how to
correct this issue.

Hunter Pro Tip:

Cleaning the Fan

Use soft cloths to prevent scratching. Cleaning
products may damage the nishes.
