Hunter Cassius 59261 / 59262 / 59263 / 59264 Manual

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.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Here are the tools you'll need to complete your installation

OPTIONAL
If mounting to a support structure, you will also need these tools.

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

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.

Angled Mounting

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 againts 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!

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.

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.

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

Installing the Blade Irons

1. Remove the pre-installed setscrew so that the downrod can be inserted.
   
2. Lightly attach blade irons to the motor with screws found in the hardware bag , then securely tighten after screws are attached.
   
3. Lower the top housing onto the top of the motor. Install the three top housing screws found in the hardware bag.
   

Note: Fan style may vary.

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? See the guide below.

Hunter Pro Tip:
The ground wire attached to the downrod is approximately 8 inches.

1. Pass all wires to one side of horizontal bar in downrod assembly. Hand tighten the downrod (at least 4–5 full turns) until it stops. Trim the wires coming from the fan so that 8-inches remain coming from the top of the downrod.
   
2. Tighten the setscrew with pliers. DO NOT HAND TIGHTEN.
   

FAN FALL HAZARD
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS tighten setscrew with pliers.
• DO NOT hand tighten setscrew.
• CHECK the setscrew is tight using pliers each time you change fan direction.

Hanging the Fan

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)

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.

Installing the Canopy

Lift the canopy into place so that the screw holes are aligned.

Insert the two canopy screws found in the hardware bag.

Installing the Blades

Secure each blade to a blade iron as shown using the blade nuts, found in the hardware bag, and the blade assembly screws, found in the hardware bag.

Repeat x3

Assembling the Light Fixture

Partially install two light kit assembly screws, found in the hardware bag, halfway into the motor housing as shown. It does not matter which two screw holes you choose.

Feed the wire plug through the center hole of the upper switch housing, then wrap keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise.

Insert the third screw, found in the hardware bag, into place and then tighten all three screws.

FAN FALL HAZARD
Make sure all three screws are tight to secure the trim ring to the mounting plate.

Connect the plugs from the upper and lower switch housings. Make sure to line up the colored markings on the connectors.

Lift the lower switch housing until its screw holes are aligned with the screw holes in the upper switch housing. Install the three switch housing screws, found in the hardware bag. Tighten all three screws.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing Pullchain

Installing the pull chain pendant - Attach the pull chain pendant to the short chain coming from the switch housing.

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.

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.

Downrod

If you need a different downrod length follow these steps:
Follow steps 1-5 to remove standard downrod pipe
Follow steps 6-10 to reassemble with new downrod

Here is another view of the downrod assembly unassembled.

Assembled downrod should look like this

FAN FALL HAZARD
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS follow the downrod assembly instructions exactly.
• VERIFY the downrod is assembled correctly by firmly pulling on the hanger ball.
• Pin must be reinserted to secure downrod assembly.

1. To reduce the risk of fire, 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.
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. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
4. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

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.
2. Use only Hunter replacement parts.
