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:

  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.

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

ANGLED MOUNTING TIP
For angled ceilings, point opening toward peak.

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.
  1. Remove the pre-installed  setscrew so that the downrod can be inserted.
  2. Pass all wires to one side of horizontal bar in downrod assembly. Hand tighten the downrod (at least 4–5 full turns) until it stops. Trim the wires coming from the fan so that 8-inches remain coming from the top of the downrod.
  3. Tighten the setscrew with pliers. DO NOT HAND TIGHTEN. 

Hunter Pro Tip:
The ground wire attached to the downrod is approximately 8 inches.

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.

Hanging the Fan

Progress Check:
Your fan should look like this.

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)

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.

Have a single switch?
Follow these steps:

  • Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling  to the white wire  from the fan.
  • Connect the black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the black and the blue wires from the fan.
  • Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.

WARNING
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.

Hunter Pro Tip:

  • Have extra wiring?
  • Turn the wires upward and push them carefully back through the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.

Have dual switches?
Follow these steps:

  • Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling  to the white wire  from the fan.
  • Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.
  • Connect the second ungrounded (light) wire from the ceiling to the blue wire from the fan.
  • Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.

Installing the Canopy

Installing the  Blades:

Attach each blade to a blade iron using the grommets, found in the hardware bag, and the shoulder screws, found in the hardware bag.

Assembling the Light Kit

  • Partially install two light kit assembly screws, found in the hardware bag, halfway into the motor housing as shown. It does not matter which two screw holes you choose.
  • Feed the 9-pin plug connector coming from the bottom of the motor housing through the center hole in the light kit assembly. Connect it to the plug connector found in the switch housing area of the light kit assembly. Make sure to line up the colored markings on the connectors.
  • Align the keyhole slots in the top of the light kit assembly with the partially installed assembly screws. Wrap the keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise.
  • Insert the third screw, found in the hardware bag, in place and firmly tighten all the three screws.
  • Carefully push all switch housing components into the switch housing, then install the switch housing plate using two short light kit assembly screws, found in the hardware bag.

WARNING
FAN FALL HAZARD
Make sure all screws are tight to secure the light fixture.

Installing the Bulbs and Glass

  • Install the included LED bulbs into the sockets. When necessary, replace  with bulbs of same wattage.
  • Lift the globe and align the notches in the globe with the tabs in the light kit.
  • Attach the globe by lifting and turning clockwise one third of a full turn of the glass until it stops.
  • NOTE: Check to ensure proper engagement.

WARNING
GLASS FALL HAZARD
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure that glass is properly secured.

Installing the Pull Chains

  • Repeat x2
    Remove and discard the plastic connectors from the ends of the short pull chain. Attach the pull chain pendants to the light and fan pull chains.

  • The fan pull chain controls the speed: from high to off.

  • The light pull chain controls the light fixture: on and off.

Reversing the Fan

  • Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft and updraft. To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. The reversing switch is located inside the light fixture. It can only be accessed when the glass is removed. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.
    • Updraft (clockwise rotation) creates a more indirect airflow. Updraft airflow is great for moving warm air downward.
    • Downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) creates a direct breeze and maximum cooling effect.

Troubleshooting

  • Fan Doesn’t Work
    • Make sure power switch is on.
    • Pull the pull chain to make sure it is on.
    • Push the motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure that it is engaged.
    • 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.
    • Check the plug connection in the switch housing.
  • 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.
    • Use the provided balancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.
  • 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.

Hunter Pro Tip:

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