Frequently Asked Questions - Donegan 53336 HUNTER

How do I install the ceiling bracket?

Remove any existing bracket. Use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket. For a fan-rated outlet box, secure with machine screws and washers (supplied with outlet box). For direct support structure, drill 9/64" pilot holes and use wood screws and washers from the hardware bag. Ensure the bracket is securely attached.

What should I do if my fan wobbles excessively?

First, ensure blades are correctly installed on blade arms. Turn off power, support the fan, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated in the ceiling bracket. Use the included balancing kit: attach a clip to each blade sequentially and run the fan to find which blade reduces wobble, then add weight if needed.

How do I reverse the fan direction?

Turn the fan off and let blades stop completely. Locate the reversing switch on the switch housing (usually near the pull chains). Slide the switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan. Downdraft (counterclockwise) for cooling; updraft (clockwise) for circulating warm air downward.

Why is my fan making noise?

Check if blades are properly installed and not cracked. Ensure all screws are tight. Verify the downrod setscrew is tightened with pliers. If noise persists, turn off power and inspect wiring connections. Sometimes a small gap between blade and arm can cause noise; adjust if possible. Replace cracked blades.

Can I install the fan without the light kit?

Yes. Follow the standard installation but skip the light kit assembly steps. You can purchase a cap or cover (not included) to close the opening. For detailed instructions, visit www.HunterFan.com/FAQs and search 'How do I install my fan without the light kit?'.

What is the proper way to clean my fan?

Use a soft brush or cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. For dust buildup, gently wipe blades and motor housing. Avoid bending blade arms. Do not insert objects between rotating blades.

How do I replace a broken light bulb?

Turn off power to the fan. Remove the glass shade by unscrewing the socket ring (use the provided socket ring tool). Install a new bulb of the same wattage (model uses standard medium base bulbs, e.g., 60W max per socket). Reattach the shade and tighten the socket ring clockwise.

What does the limited lifetime warranty cover?

The motor is covered for life if defective in material or workmanship. Electronic controls (remote, capacitors) are covered for 1 year. LED light kits have a 3-year limited warranty. Proof of purchase required. Labor and electrician fees are not covered. See full warranty at www.HunterFan.com.

Can I use a remote control with this fan?

This fan is designed for pull chain operation. It does not come with a remote. However, you can purchase aftermarket remote control kits that are compatible. Ensure the kit is rated for ceiling fans and follow its installation instructions. Installing a remote may require modifying the wiring.

What size downrod do I need for a vaulted ceiling?

This fan comes with a standard downrod. For higher ceilings, purchase a longer downrod (sold separately at HunterFan.com). For ceiling angles greater than 34°, you also need an Angled Mounting Kit. Measure your ceiling height and angle to select the appropriate downrod length so the blades are at least 7 ft above the floor.

Here is what comes in your box:

We recommend that you pull everything out of the box and lay it out. We have grouped the drawn components below with the hardware you'll need for those parts. The screws below are drawn to scale to make it easier to identify what piece of hardware is needed to install each component.

Hunter Pro Tip:

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:

Simple line drawing of a mechanical component inside a circular frame (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

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.

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.

Hunter Pro Tip:

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

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 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.

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.

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. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.

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

Repeat x2

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

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

Reversing the Fan

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.
