Welcome
Your new Hunter® ceiling fan is an addition to your home or oce 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 o the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the o 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 qualied 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 re, 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 2-position mounting system provides you maximum installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one of two ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Standard or Angled mounting. e steps in this manual include instructions for both 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.

CAUTION: 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.

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.
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 mounting 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.
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 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 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.)

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. 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.
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.
Reversing Switch
In warm weather, use downward air ow pattern
In cold weather, use upward air ow pattern

Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move.
1. Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker.
2. Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the wiring the fan section.
3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.
4. Push motor reversing switch rmly left or right to ensure that the switch is engaged.
5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.
6. Remove the shipping bumpers.
Problem: Noisy operation.
1. Tighten the blade bracket screws until snug.
2. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the blades.
Problem: Excessive wobbling.
1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.
2. Tighten all blade iron screws.
3. Turn power o, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.
