Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories
Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®
Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low
Prole, Standard, or Angled mounting. e steps in this manual include
instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.
Considering Optional Accessories
Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase
Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability and
wobble-free performance.
Standard Mounting hangs from the
ceiling by a downrod (included).
Angled Mounting recommended for a
vaulted or angled ceiling

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:
• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceiling.
• Drill holes for and install wood screws.
• Identify and connect electrical wires.
• Lift 40 pounds.
If you need help installing the fan, your Hunter fan dealer can direct
you to a licensed installer or electrician.
Gathering the Tools
You will need the following tools for installing the fan:
• Electric drill with 9/64” bit
• Standard screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)
• Phillips-head screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)
• Wrench or pliers
• Ladder (height dependent upon installation site)
Checking Your Fan Parts
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Refer to
the included Parts Guide. Check for any shipping damage to the motor
or fan blades. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter
dealer or call Hunter Technical Support Department at 888-830-1326.
(In Canada, call 866-268-1936).
Preparing the Fan Site
Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in
the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan
location and attachment to the building structure are essential for
safety, reliable operation, maximum eciency, and energy savings.
Installing Multiple Fans?
If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades and
blade irons (if applicable) in sets,
as they were shipped.

CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,
disconnect the power by turning o the circuit breakers to the outlet box
and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers
in the o position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2. Your fan comes with three neoprene noise isolators. Position the
isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by inserting the
raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the ceiling plate.
2-3. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling plate.
2-4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you
drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.
Note: e isolators should be ush against the ceiling.
2-5. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” wood screws and pass
the screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the
pilot holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants
on the screws. Do not over tighten.

WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these
installation instructions.
4-1. Unbundle the wires from the fan.
For Standard or Angled mounting:
4-2. To assemble fan to hang down from a at or angled ceiling, insert
the downrod through the canopy. Feed the wires from the fan
through the downrod.
Note: Make sure all the wires are on the same side of the metal dowel
pin inside the dowrod.
4-3. Loosen the square head setscrew on the adapter to install the
downrod. Note: When the downrod is fully installed, 2-3 threads
on the pipe will still be visible; this is normal. Securely retighten
the set screw with a wrench or pliers. Skip to Step 4-7.
CAUTION: e adapter has a special coating on the threads. Do
not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod from
unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.
For Low Profile mounting:
Note: For low prole mounting, the downrod is replaced with the
low prole washer.
4-4. Remove the set screw from the adapter.
4-5. Feed the wires from the fan through the low prole washer and
the canopy. Place the low prole washer (lip down) into the
canopy. Be sure the green ground wire is pointing up toward the
ceiling.
4-6. Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter.
Assemble securely with three low prole screws.
4-7. Raise the fan and place the hook on the ceiling plate through one
of the round holes in the rim.

CAUTION: e remote control device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Changes or modications not expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company could void
your authority to operate this equipment.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. is device may not cause harmful interference.
2. is device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Note: Use with a fan that incorporates an air gap switch (normal on-o wall switch).
WARNING: Maximum fan load is 1 Amp; maximum lamp is 100 Watts. Do not use
any speed control with this product.
You must now set the jumpers in the remote transmitter and receiver
so that they match.
5-1. Change the position of the jumpers in the transmitter and the
receiver. Be sure the position of the jumper in the transmitter
matches the position of the jumper in the receiver. If they don’t
match, the controller will not function. For instructions on how to
set the jumpers, read the box below.
5-2. Install the included 12-volt battery into the transmitter.
Setting Jumpers
When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire to
have the receiver/transmitter for each fan set to a dierent code, so that
the operation of one fan does not aect the operation of the other fans.
In the transmitter you can access the jumpers from the battery
compartment. e jumpers are very small. You can move them most
easily using a small pair of pliers or tweezers. IMPORTANT! Before
you change a jumper, make sure the battery is not connected to the
transmitter.

42683-01 • 09/11/09 • Hunter Fan Company
11-1. Restore power at the main electrical panel and turn on the wall
switch. e light kit should turn ON. To dim the light, hold the
light button down until you reach your desired brightness. Push
the light button again to turn o the light.
Note: To turn on the light without the remote, turn o the wall
switch for 5 seconds, then back on. e light kit will turn on at
maximum brightness.
11-2. Press the remote control’s HIGH speed button. e fan should
start and reach its maximum speed.
Note: For everyday operation, leave the wall switch ON. If the
remote control will not be used for 5 days or more, turn the wall
switch OFF.
11-3. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward
(counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the
room with a direct breeze. In cold weather, having the fan draw
air upward (clockwise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer
air trapped at the ceiling around the room without causing a
draft.
11-4. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust
using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may
use an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they
will damage the nish.
11-5. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in
the same manner as the fan nish.
In warm weather, use
downward air ow pattern
In cold weather, use upward
air ow pattern
To Change Airflow Direction
Press the reversing switch on the remote
while the fan is running.
