WARNING

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.

w.2 - 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.

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.

w.5 - Chemical burn hazard. Keep batteries away from children. This remote contains a lithium button cell battery. If a new or used lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. Dispose of cells properly and keep away from children. Even used cells may cause injury.

w.6 - Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product.

w.7 - This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. It is recommended that children be supervised to ensure that they are not using the appliance improperly.

w.8 - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock or injury to persons, do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

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

For ceilings over 10 feet, purchase a DC wire extension kit and downrod online.

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

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

Standard Mounting

Support Structure Ceiling Outlet Box (required)

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 Support Structure Ceiling Outlet Box (required)

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 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.

Turn Power OFF

Do this first!

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.

Troubleshooting

Fan Doesn't Work

• Make sure power switch is on.
- 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.

Remote Control of Fan is Erratic

• Make sure the battery is installed correctly.
  • Install a fresh battery.

Remote Only Works Close to Fan

- Change battery.

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.

Multiple Remote Issues

• If you have multiple remotes or multiple remote-controlled fans installed on the same circuit breaker and you are experiencing interference or faulty operation of your remote controls, please go to www.HunterFan.com/FAQs and click "How do I properly install multiple remote-controlled fans?" for information on how to correct this issue.

Fan moves backwards and forwards when turned on.

- This is normal start-up procedure for DC motor fans. The partial movement during start-up is the result of the DC motor aligning the internal magnetic poles for proper motor operation. This design saves electricity and allows the fan to operate much quieter than standard AC motor fans.

Hunter Pro Tip:

Cleaning the Fan

Use soft brushes or cloths to prevent scratching. Cleaning products may damage the finishes.

Downrod

If you need a different downrod length follow these steps:

A Remove ball screw (A).

Slide ball down (A), remove small metal pin (B) and ground screw (C).

A B C

Remove ball (A), inner sleeve (B) and downrod (C) from fan body and wiring harnesses.

WARNING

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.
- Pin must be reinserted to secure downrod assembly
