Product Usage Instructions

1. Before beginning the installation process, gather the necessary tools, including a ladder, screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, drill, and a 9/64 drill bit. If you are mounting the fan to a support structure, you will also need additional tools.
2. Open the box and lay out all the components. Take note of the hardware bags and their corresponding symbols, as they will help you identify the appropriate hardware for each step.
3. If any part is missing or damaged, do not return it to the store. Instead, contact HunterFan.com or call 1.888.830.1326 for assistance.
4. Choose the right installation location for your fan by considering the room dimensions and outlet box placement. The fan should be at least 30 inches away from any wall or obstruction and have a clearance of 7 feet from the bottom edge of the blades to the floor.
5. Ensure that you have a secure structure or a fan-rated outlet box to mount the fan.
6. If you have a flat ceiling, use a standard downrod to hang your fan. For low-profile installations, some fans come with a shorter downrod.
7. If your ceiling is angled, you will need an Angled Mounting Kit (sold separately at HunterFan.com). To determine if you need the kit, fold the guide on the dotted line, place the edge against the wall, and slide it towards the ceiling. If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you need an angled mounting kit.
8. Refer to the instruction manual for detailed installation steps. Keep your smartphone or tablet nearby as video links are provided to assist with more technical sections. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with wiring, it is recommended to contact a qualified electrician. Telephone support is also available at 1.888.830.1326 or visit HunterFan.com for assistance.

Here are the tools you’ll need to complete your installation:

OPTIONAL

If mounting to a support structure, you will also need these tools.

What In The Box

Here is what comes in your box

We recommend that you pull everything out of the box and lay it out. We have grouped the drawn components below with the hardware you’ll need for those parts. The screws below are drawn to scale to make it easier to identify what piece of hardware is needed to install each component.

Hunter Pro Tip:

• Do not discard the hardware bags or mix parts from different bags. Make note of the symbol printed on each hardware bag. The symbols can be used to identify the appropriate hardware for each step.

Installation Location

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

Check the outlet box

• You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or fan-rated outlet box.

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

Standard Mounting

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

If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling:

1. You will need a longer downrod. (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 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 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.

Hunter Pro Tip:

• The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.

Do this first!

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.

Wiring the Fan

• Connect wiring from ceiling to terminal block (on side of canopy mount) and tighten using flathead screwdriver (included).

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

Installing the Downrod /Hanging the Fan

Installing the Downrod

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

WARNING: 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.
• Pin must be reinserted to secure downrod assembly

Hanging the Fan

Making Connections

Making Connections for the Receiver and the Fan

Installing the Canopy And Blades

Installing the Canopy

Installing the Blades

Assembling the Light

STEP 1/ STEP 2

STEP 3/ STEP 4

WARNING: FAN FALL HAZARD

• Make sure all three screws are tight to secure the lower switch housing to the upper switch housing

Installing the Bulbs /Glass and Pull Chains

Installing the Bulbs and Glass

Note: Fan style may vary.

WARNING: GLASS FALL HAZARD

• To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure that glass is properly secured.

Installing the Pull Chains

Note: Fan style may vary.

Feed the pull chains from the fan switch and the light switch down through the holes in the finial as shown. Attach the pull chain pendants to the light and fan pull chains. To adjust the fan speed, pull the chain with the fan icon and you will hear a single beep for confirmation. Repeat the process until you reach your desired speed. Each beep corresponds to a different speed level, allowing you to easily identify and select the desired setting. A triple beep signifies the fan is off.

Reversing the Fan

Note: Fan style may vary.

Troubleshooting

Fan Doesn’t Work

• 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.

Excessive Wobbling

• 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.

Noisy Operation

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

The Fan Moves Backwards And Forwards When Turned On

• This is normal start-up procedure for DC motor fans. The partial movement during start-up is the result of the DC motor aligning the internal magnetic poles for proper motor operation. This design saves electricity and allows the fan to operate much more quietly than standard AC motor fans.

Hunter Pro Tip:

• Cleaning the Fan
  • Use soft brushes or cloths to prevent scratching.
  • Cleaning products may damage the finishes.
