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.

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.

Angled Mounting

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.

Do this first!

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.

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.

For angled ceilings, point opening toward peak.

Installing the Blade Irons

Note:
Fan style may vary.

Ceiling Bracket – Downrod – Hanging Fan – Wiring – Canopy – Blades – Upper Switch Housing – Reverse

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

NOTICE
To prevent damage to fan, ALWAYS lift holding either the fan housing or the downrod.
Place the downrod ball into the slot in the ceiling bracket.

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)

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
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.

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. 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:

Secure each blade to a blade iron as shown using the blade nuts, found in the hardware bag, and the blade assembly screws, found in the hardware bag.
Repeat x3

Assembling the Light Fixture

2 of 3
BAG Light Kit Screw
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.

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.

Feed the wire plug through the center hole of the upper switch housing, then wrap keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise.

BAG Light Kit Screw
Insert the third screw, found in the hardware bag, into place and then tighten all three screws.
WARNING
FAN FALL HAZARD Make sure all three screws are tight to secure the trim ring to the mounting plate.

BAG Light Kit Screw

Connect the plugs from the upper and lower switch housings. Make sure to line up the colored markings on the connectors.

Lift the lower switch housing until its screw holes are aligned with the screw holes in the upper switch housing. Install the three switch housing screws, found in the hardware bag. Tighten all three screws.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing Pullchain

Installing the pull chain pendant – Attach the pull chain pendant to the short chain coming from the switch housing.
Reversing the Fan

Reverse Switch

Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise rotation). To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. 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.
