support structure of the building according to these instructions,
and use only the hardware supplied.
• 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.
• All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a
qualied electrician.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade
attachment system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan.

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 Angle 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).

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.

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.

You can assemble your fan for standard or angle mounting as shown
in Steps 3-1 – 3-5. For low profile mounting (ceilings less than 8 feet
high), go to Steps 3-6 – 3-10 on the next page.
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.

In cold weather, use upward

8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
8-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O.
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the
blades.
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.
8-3. 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.
8-4. 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.
8-5. 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.
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.

Hunter fans have the power to cut your cooling costs up to 40%.
Beat the High Cost of Cooling
e air movement created by a Hunter ceiling fan lets you set your
thermostat higher and still stay comfortable. Every degree you
raise the thermostat saves up to 7% on energy costs. So, you can
cut back on expensive air conditioning...and save up to 40%* on
cooling. In winter, your Hunter fan recirculates warm air and saves
up to 10%* on heating bills.
* On average at low speed settings. Your savings may vary based
on climate, building type and thermostat setting.
Save Energy and Money While Protecting the Environment
Congratulations! You’re saving energy and money while protecting
the environment by purchasing this ENERGY STAR qualied
Hunter ceiling fan! With this purchase, you are doing your part to
protect the environment. In 2010, ENERGY STAR qualied ceiling
fans are projected to cut air pollution by more than 500 million
pounds!
Your new ceiling fan has earned the ENERGY STAR label
because it meets high energy eciency specications set by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ENERGY STAR
labeled ceiling fans save energy because they have more ecient
fan motors and air delivery due to more aerodynamic blade
congurations. Ceiling fan models bearing the ENERGY STAR label
move air 14 - 20% more eciently than typical ceiling fan models.
