Your new Hunter® ceiling fan is an addition to your home or oce that
will provide comfort and performance for many years. is installation
and operation manual gives you complete instructions for installing
and operating your fan.
We are proud of our work. We appreciate the opportunity to supply
you with the best ceiling fan available anywhere in the world.
Before installing your fan, for your records and warranty assistance,
record information from the carton and Hunter nameplate label
(located on the top of the fan motor housing).
Cautions and Warnings
• Read this entire manual carefully before beginning installation. Save
these instructions.
• Use only Hunter replacement parts.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, attach the fan directly to the
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.
Never insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
• To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or motor damage, do not
use a solid-state speed control with this fan. Use only Hunter speed
controls.

Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories
Low Profile Mounting ts close to the
ceiling, recommended for ceilings less
than 8 feet high
Standard Mounting hangs from
the ceiling by a downrod (included),
recommended for ceilings 8 feet or higher
Angle Mounting recommended for a
vaulted or angled ceiling
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.

1 • Getting Ready
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 • Installing the Ceiling Plate
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 two 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.

3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan
WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these
installation instructions.
3-1. Unbundle the wires from the fan.
For Standard or Angle 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 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.
Skip to Step 3-6.
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. Place the low prole washer into the canopy. Be sure the green
ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.
3-5. Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter.
Assemble securely with three low prole screws.
3-6. Raise the fan and align the slots in the canopy with the tabs on the
ceiling plate.

4 • Wiring the Fan
All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a
qualified electrician.
Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch in
accordance with national and local electrical codes.
4-1. Make sure the power to the outlet box and associated wall switch
location is still OFF.
To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place a
wire connector over them, then twist the wire connector clockwise
until tight.
CAUTION: Be sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after
making connections.
Single Switch Wiring:
If you want to, you can control both fan and light with one switch. To
do so connect the wires as follows:
• e bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the ceiling plate and the green ground wire
from the fan
• e white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• e black wire from the ceiling to the black and the black/white
wire from the fan
Dual Switch Wiring:
• e bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the pipe ball assembly
• e white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• e black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan
• e black/white wire from the fan to the wire for the wall switch

6 • Assembling the Blades
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. Some blade mounting screws are installed in the motor to
secure shipping blocks. Remove the blade mounting screws and
rubber bumpers from the motor. Save the screws and discard the
bumpers.
