Tools you’ll need to complete your installation
- Ladder

- Pliers
- Wire Strippers
OPTIONAL
If mounting to a support structure, you will also need these tools.
What in your box
We recommend that you pull everything out of the box and lay it out. We have
grouped the drawn components below with the hardware you’ll need for those
parts. The screws below are drawn to scale to make it easier to identify what
piece of hardware is needed to install each component.
Hunter Pro Tip:
Do not discard the hardware bags or mix parts from different bags. Make note
of the symbol printed on each hardware bag. The symbols can be used to
identify the appropriate hardware for each step.
Note:
Fan style may vary.
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:
You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or fan-rated 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.
Angled Mounting
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)
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 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 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 brackets 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.
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.
-
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

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 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

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