Choosing the Right Installation Location

You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let’s check below to make sure it is a good fit.

Check the room dimensions

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location.

Hanging the Fan

1. While holding the wires out of the way, lift the motor assembly and place the square hanger into the opening in the ceiling bracket. Be sure the ground wire attached to the hanger faces out of the large opening in the ceiling bracket.
2. Once the motor is in the ceiling bracket, use the two locking screws found in the hardware bag to secure the motor to the ceiling bracket.

Wiring the Fan

We know wiring is hard. Let’s make it easie r.
Follow these steps to get your fan wired quickly and safely. Follow the route be-low that best matches your wall switch setup. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or uncomfortable doing it yourself, please contact a qualifi 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.

Have a single switch Follow these steps

WARNING The ceiling fan must be grounded. If the ground wire for the installation site is not present, immediately STOP installation and consult a qualifi ed electrician.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 qualified electrician.

Hunter Pro Tip

Have extra wiring?
Turn the wires upward and push them carefully back through the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Spread the wires apart, with the grounded wires on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded wires on the other side of the outlet box. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.

Have dual switches Follow these steps:

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing the Motor Housing

1. Raise the motor housing up over the motor and ceiling bracket. Turn the motor housing so the screw holes align and the indentation in the housing locks into place with the notch in the ceiling bracket. The motor housing is not secured until the next step is complete. Do not leave unattended.
2. With a Phillips head screwdriver, install the four motor housing screws found in the hardware bag. Tighten all four screws securely

Installing the Blades

Insert grommets found in the hardware bag into the holes in the blades, then secure each blade to a blade arm with screws found in the hardware bag.

Assembling Switch Housing

1. Screw light kit screws from the hardware bag halfway into the motor housing. It does not matter which two screw holes you choose.
2. Feed the wire plug through the center hole of the upper switch housing, then wrap keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise
3. Insert a third screw, found in the hardware bag, into place and then tighten all three screws
4. Partially install two of the switch housing screws found in the bag. Connect the plugs from the upper and lower switch housings. Make sure to line up the colored markings on the plug connectors
5. Align the notches in the sides of the lower switch housing with the screws on the upper switch housing. Twist the lower switch housing clockwise to lock into place. Install the third switch housing screw. Tighten all three screws securely.

WARNING: FAN FALL HAZARD Make sure all three screws are tight to secure the lower switch housing to the upper switch housing

Installing the Pull Chains
