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:
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:
- You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
- 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. 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.

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.
Remote Control of Fan is Erratic
- Make sure the battery is installed correctly.
- Install a fresh battery.
Remote Only Works Close to Fan
- Change battery.
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.
Multiple Remote Issues
- If you have multiple remotes or multiple remotecontrolled fans installed on the same circuit breaker and you are experiencing interference or faulty operation of your remote controls, please go to www.HunterFan.com/FAQs and click “How do I properly install multiple remote-controlled fans?” for information on how to correct this issue.
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 quieter 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.
Downrod
If you need a different downrod length follow these steps:
