Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories
Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®
Hunter’s patented 2-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of two ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Standard
or Angled mounting. e steps in this manual include instructions for
both 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).

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.
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.

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.
Note: Your fan comes with four pre-installed neoprene noise
isolators.
2-2. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the hanger bracket.
2-3. Align the slotted holes in the hanger bracket with the pilot holes
you drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment
use slotted holes directly across from each other. If you are
installing the fan on an ANGLED ceiling, be sure to orient the
hanger bracket as shown in Illustration 2-3 (left or right view).
Note: e isolators should be ush against the ceiling.
2-4. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” screws and pass the
screws through the slotted holes in the hanger bracket 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.

3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a at or angled ceiling, place
the canopy and canopy trim ring around the adapter so that they
rest on the fan assembly.
3-2. 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.
3-3. Loosen the square head set screw on the adapter to install the
pipe and ball assembly. Note: When the pipe and ball assembly
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.
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.
WARNING: Do not carry or lift fan by canopy.
3-4. Raise the fan and place the ball into the hanger bracket.
3-5. Align the notch on the ball with the indent in the hanger bracket.

Setting DIP switches
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.
e DIP switches for the receiver are located on the at surface of the
receiver. e DIP switches for the transmitter are in the the battery
compartment.

In warm weather, use

In cold weather, use upward
air ow pattern
10-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
10-2. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward
(counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the
room with a direct breeze. In winter, 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.
10-3. 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.
10-4. 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.
To Change Airow Direction
Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.
