Warning

- 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
Choosing the Right Installation Location
Checking the Ceiling Angle:
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 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.
Hunter Pro Tip : The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.
Installing the Downrod
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.
WARNING: 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. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire
nuts.
