READ and SAVE These Instructions

Warning
w.1 – To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan directly from building structure and/or an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs. (31.8 kg) and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
w.2 – To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or servicing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
w.3 – To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
w.4 – To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
w.5 – Chemical burn hazard. Keep batteries away from children. This remote contains a lithium button cell battery. If a new or used lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to death in as  little as 2 hours. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed  inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

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.

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

Standard Mounting

If you have a flat ceiling:
Hang your fan by a standard dowered. Some fans come with a shorter dowered for a Low Profile installation.

If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling:

1. You will need a longer dowered. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
2. If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit. (Sold separately at HunterFan.com)

Angled Mounting

A little more information on Angled Mounting:
For optimum performance and appearance, a longer dowered 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 downfolds 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.

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location. Remove any existing bracket prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan’s box.

Do this first!
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with the wall switch location.

Option 1:
Machine Screws
Use machine screws
(provided with outlet box) and washers when securing to existing ceiling fan- rated outlet box. Make sure it is securely installed and is acceptable for fan support of 31.8 kg (70 lbs.) or less.

Option 2:
Wood Screws
Use wood screws and washers (included) when securing to support structure with approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64” pilot holes in support structure to aid in securing ceiling bracket with hardware found in the hardware bag.

Installing the Donwood

Follow below if you are using the dowered that came pre-assembled in your box. Need to install a longer or shorter dowered? Check out the guide at the end of this manual.

FAN FALL HAZARD
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS tighten setscrew with pliers.
• DO NOT hand tighten setscrew.
• CHECK the setscrew is tight using pliers each time you change fan direction.

Hunter Pro Tip:
The ground wire attached to the dowered is approximately 8 inches.

Hanging the Fan

Progress Check:
Your fan should look like this.

Wiring the Fan

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