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:

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

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!

Option 1:

Machine Screws

Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securin to existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Make sure it is securely installed and is acceptable for fan support 31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.

Hunter Pro Tip:

The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.

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 Top Housing

Note:

Fan style may vary.

Thread the wires through the top housing. Place the top housing onto the motor housing so that the holes in the top housing lineup with the holes in the motor housing and the adapter.

Place the canopy on the top housing. Ensure all four screw holes line up with the screw holes in both the top housing and the adapter.

Note:
Fan style may vary.

Hanging the Fan

NOTICE

To prevent damage to fan, ALWAYS lift holding the fan housing.

Note:
Fan style may vary.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Have dual switches?
