READ and SAVE These Instructions
Warning
w.1 – To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount
fan directly from 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.

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.
w.3 To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an
isolating wall control/switch. w.4 – 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.

codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a qualified

Here is what comes 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.
Find a part that is missing or damaged? Don’t take it back to the store. Let us make it right. Visit us at HunterFan.com or call us at .888.830.1326.
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:
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
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 prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan’s box.
**Do this first!
**
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.
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.

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.

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.
Note:
Fan style may vary.
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)
Have a single switch?
Follow these steps:
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.
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.
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. Spread the wires apart, with the grounded wires on one
side of the outlet box and the ungrounded wires on the other side of the
outlet box. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.
Installing the Canopy
Installing the Blades:
Note:
Fan style may vary.
Installing Wall Control
1. Turning off the power
Ensure the power is OFF at the outlet box and wall switch location before
proceeding with installation.|
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.
---|---
2. Preparing the Wall Switch
After removing the switch plate cover, remove all wiring from the switch.|
3. Wiring the Wall Control
Using the wire connectors, connect each black wire from the wall control to
a black wire from the switch box. Connect the green with yellow stripe wire to
the grounding wire from the switch box.
Note: If two white wires are present in the switch box, connect them to each
other if they are not already connected.|
4. Installing the Wall Control
Insert the wall control into the outlet box and secure the two metal tabs
to the tabs on the switch box using the two flat head screws that came with
the switch box.|
5. Installing the Wall Plate
Remove the knob from the wall control and mount the faceplate (not
included) to the wall control using the two #6-32 screws you removed earlier
from the faceplate.|
6. Installing the Wall Plate (CONT)
Reattach the knob onto the wall control and turn it to the left for the OFF
position.|
7. Turning on the power|
Reversing the Fan
Troubleshooting
Fan Doesn’t Work
- 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.
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.

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