READ and SAVE These Instructions

w.1 - To reduce the risk of fi re, 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.

Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades. c.1 - All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a qualified electrician. c.2 - Use only Hunter replacement parts.

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: Do not discard the hardware bags or mix parts from different bags. Make note of the symbol printed on each hardware bag. The symbols can be used to identify the appropriate hardware for each step.

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:

Checking the Ceiling Angle

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.
2. If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit.

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.

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 are going to need these:
4 Wire Nuts (these are in the bag)

Have a single switch?

Follow these steps:

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?

Follow these steps:

Troubleshooting

Fan Doesn't Work

• 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.

Hunter Pro Tip:
Cleaning the Fan
Use soft brushes or cloths to prevent scratching. Cleaning products may damage the finishes.
