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

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 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.

CEILING

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 lbs) 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" pilot holes in support structure to aid in securing ceiling bracket with hardware found in the ★hardware bag.

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.

DO NOT REMOVE SETSCREW COMPLETELY Back out the pre-installed setscrew so that the setscrew's threads are still engaged while the shank does not protrude and obstruct the insertion of the downrod.

Pass all wires to one side of horizontal bar in downrod assembly. Hand tighten the downrod until it stops (at least 4–5 complete revolutions).

Tighten the setscrew with pliers. DO NOT HAND TIGHTEN.

3/8" 8" (not to scale) Trim the wires coming from the fan so that 8-inches remain coming from the top of the downrod.

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.

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.

Have dual switches?

Follow these steps:

Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan. Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan. Connect the second ungrounded (light) wire from the ceiling to the blue wire from the fan.

IMPORTANT

Installing the Bulbs and Glass

9 of 12 BAG Light Kit Screw Socket Glass Install a bulb into each of the sockets. When necessary, replace with bulbs of same wattage. Repeat x3 Lift the glass assembly until its screw holes are aligned with the screw holes in one of the sockets of the light kit assembly. Turn Power ON

Repeat x3
Note:
Fan style may vary.

WARNING

GLASS FALL HAZARD
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure that glass is properly secured.

Installing the Pull Chains

HUNTER Remove and discard the plastic connectors from the ends of the pull chains (if necessary), then connect the appropriate pull chain pendant to each of the short chains coming from the switch housing. The fan pull chain controls the speed: from high to off. The light pull chain controls the light fixture: on and off. Repeat x2 Fan Pull Chain Light Pull Chain

Note:
Fan style may vary.

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. Note: Fan style may vary.

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.
