-
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.

Installation Instruction
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.
Do this first!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Installing the Canopy
Installing the Blades
Put the blade washers found in the hardware bag onto the blade screws found in the hardware bag. Then install the blade screws to secure each blade to the fan.
Assembling the Light Kit
STEP 1
Partially install two switch housing screws, found in the hardware bag,
halfway into the motor housing as shown. It does not matter which two screw
holes you choose.
STEP 2
Align the keyhole slots in the top of the light kit assembly with the
partially installed switch housing screws. Wrap the keyhole slots around the
screws and twist counterclockwise. Install the third switch housing screw.
Tighten all screws securely.
STEP 3
Connect the single-pin connectors from the light kit to the connectors from
the fan. Connect the white wires. Connect the blue and black wires. Lift the
light kit until its screw holes are aligned with the screw holes in the upper
switch housing. Make sure all the wires from the light kit are snug inside the
centre of the light kit, not pinched in between the upper switch housing and
the light kit or hanging out of the sides.
STEP 4
Installing the Bulbs and Glass
Preparing the Remote
The remote control is already paired for use. For your convenience, a remote function card is packed in with your remote.
NOTICE
- Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use.
- Replace all batteries of a set at the same time.
- Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device before battery installation.
