Product Usage Instructions:
-
Before starting the installation, read and save the instruction
manual for future reference. -
Ensure you have the necessary tools for installation, including
a ladder, screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, drill, and a 9/64
drill bit. -
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. -
If mounting to a support structure, gather the optional tools
mentioned in the manual. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
If applicable, follow the instructions for installing the light
kit using the provided light kit glass and screws. -
After completing the installation, test the fan and ensure it
operates smoothly and without any issues. -

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

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

have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in
a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision. It is recommended that children be supervised to ensure
that they are not using the appliance improperly. w.8 – To reduce the risk of
fire or electric shock or injury to persons, do not use replacement parts that
have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a
3D printer).

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.

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

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

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.
You are going to need these: 4 Wire Nuts (these are in the bag)
Have a single switch?
Follow these steps:
Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.

WARNING
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.
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.
