The Loflin ceiling fan is a high-quality and durable product
designed to provide comfort and performance in your home or office.
It comes in two models: Model 51801 in Flat Matte Black and Model
52599 in Matte Fresh White. The fan complies with UL Standard 507,
ensuring its safety and reliability.

This instruction manual contains detailed instructions for
installation and operation of the fan. The package includes all the
necessary hardware and components, such as hanger brackets, screws,
wire nuts, canopy, downrod, blades, blade medallions, blade iron,
motor upper switch housing, remote control, remote components,
light kit glass, light kit screws, and short light kit screws.
Extra fasteners may also be provided for convenience.

To assist with the installation process, video links are
provided for technical sections. However, if you are unfamiliar or

electrician for assistance. Telephone support is also available at
1.888.830.1326 or visit HunterFan.com for further assistance.

Product Usage Instructions:

  1. Before starting the installation, read and save the instruction
    manual for future reference.

  2. Ensure you have the necessary tools for installation, including
    a ladder, screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, drill, and a 9/64
    drill bit.

  3. Open the box and lay out all the components. Do not discard the
    hardware bags and make note of the symbols printed on each bag for
    easy identification of the appropriate hardware for each step.

  4. If mounting to a support structure, gather the optional tools
    mentioned in the manual.

  5. Choose the right installation location by checking the room
    dimensions and outlet box requirements. The fan should have a
    distance of 30 inches from the blade tip to the nearest wall or
    obstruction, and 7 feet from the bottom edge of the blade to the
    floor. Ensure you can secure the fan to a building structure or a
    fan-rated outlet box.

  6. For a flat ceiling, hang the fan using a standard downrod. If a
    low-profile installation is preferred, use the shorter downrod
    included with some fans. An angled mounting kit (sold separately)
    is required for angled ceilings.

  7. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the manual for
    installing the hanger bracket, wiring the fan, installing the
    canopy, attaching the blades, blade medallions, and blade iron. Use
    the appropriate screws and hardware from the included bags.

  8. If applicable, follow the instructions for installing the light
    kit using the provided light kit glass and screws.

  9. After completing the installation, test the fan and ensure it
    operates smoothly and without any issues.

  10. If you encounter any missing or damaged parts, contact
    HunterFan.com or call 1.888.830.1326 for assistance.

Enjoy the comfort and performance provided by your Loflin
ceiling fan for many years to come!

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:

30 inches
from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction

7 feet
from bottom edge of blade to the floor

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

Ceiling Outlet Box (required)

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 against edge againts 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!

Hunter Pro Tip:
The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.

OFF Turn Power

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.
ANGLED MOUNTING TIP

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.
