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.
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 four neoprene noise isolators (“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.
3-1. Unbundle the wires from the fan.
For Standard or Angled mounting:
3-2. To assemble fan to hang down from a at or angled ceiling, insert
the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. Feed the
wires from the fan through the downrod.
3-3. Loosen the square head setscrew on the adapter to install the pipe

Securely retighten the setscrew with a wrench or pliers. Skip to
Step 3-7.
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.
3-4. Remove the setscrew from the adapter.
3-5. Place the low prole washer (lip up) into the canopy. Be sure the
green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.

Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the
blade to the fan).
6-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets,
insert them by hand into the holes on the blades.
6-2. Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly
screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose
after screws are tightened. is is normal.
6-3. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers
from the motor. Note: Some blade mounting screws are installed
in the motor to secure shipping blocks.
6-4. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the
blade iron, and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade
mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws.
