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 in from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction 7 ft from bottom edge of blade to the floor

Simple line drawing of a mechanical component with a curved pipe and base, set against a wooden background (no text or symbols)

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 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.

Turn Power OFF

Do this first!

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 lb or less. ANGLED MOUNTING TIP For angled ceilings, point opening toward peak.

Option 2: Wood Screws

Use wood screws and washers (included) when securing to support structure with approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64 in pilot holes in support structure to aid in securing ceiling bracket with hardware found in the ★hardware bag.

Reversing the Fan

Reverse Switch Updraft (clockwise rotation) creates a more indirect airflow. Updraft airflow is great for moving warm air downward. 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. Downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) creates a direct breeze and maximum cooling effect.

Troubleshooting

Fan Doesn't Work

• Make sure power switch 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.

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.

Remote Control of Fan is Erratic

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

Remote Only Works Close to Fan

Remote Pairing Issues

1. To prevent faulty operation, please ensure all other ceiling fans within range are turned off at the wall switch while pairing.
2. If your need to pair your remote, turn fan power off and back on at the wall switch. Within 3 minutes, press and hold both the Fan Off button and the High button for 4 seconds to pair the remote.

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.
