READ and SAVE These Instructions

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount the fan directly from the 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.
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.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
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.

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 installed on high or angled ceilings. 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 the 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 before 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.

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.
