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:

30 inches
from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction

7 feet
from bottom edge of blade to the floor

You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or fan-rated outlet box.

Preparing the Ceiling Bracket
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.

Do this first!

Install the four ceiling plate screws found in the hardware bag and secure with the flange nuts using an 9/32″ wrench. Hold the ceiling bracket assembly up to the outlet box and mark the screw locations. To mount to support structure, also mark the ceiling for drilling pilot holes.

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.
Option 1: Machine Screws
Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) 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

Option 2:
Wood Screws
Use wood screws (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.

Use the wood screw to poke holes through the rubber gasket in order to install the ceiling bracket assembly to your support structure or ceiling fan-rated outlet box.

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:

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.

Grounded White

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
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 Pull Chains

Repeat x2
Remove and discard the plastic connectors from the ends of the short pull chain. Feed the pull chains from the fan switch and the light switch down through the holes in the upper switch housing as shown. Attach the pull chain pendants to the light and fan pull chains.
Reversing the Fan

The fan pull chain controls the speed: from high to off.

The light pull chain controls the light fixture: on and off.

Note:
Fan style may vary.

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. 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.

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.

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.
