Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories
42743-01 • 04/15/07 Hunter Fan Company
Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®
Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low
Profile, 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).

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 efficiency, and energy savings.
1 • Getting Ready
Installing Multiple Fans?
If you are installing more than

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 flush against the ceiling.
2-5. Place a flat 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
Steps 3-4 – 3-5
Low Profile Washer
You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 3-1 – 3-2) or
for low profile mounting (steps 3-3 – 3-5).
3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a flat or angled ceiling, insert
the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. Feed the
wires from the fan through the downrod.
3-2. Loosen the 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.
3-3. Remove the set screw from the adapter.
3-4. Place the low profile washer (lip up) into the canopy. Be sure the
green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.
Note: For low profile mounting, the downrod is replaced with the
low profile washer. See Steps 3-3 – 3-5.
3-5. Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter.
Assemble securely with three #8-32 x 3/4” screws.
3-6. Raise the fan and place the hook on the ceiling plate through the
U-shaped hole in the rim. Go to 4 • Wiring the Fan.
WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these
installation instructions.

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. Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the
outlet box and associated wall switch location.
4-2. Decide how you want to set up the fan and light controls. You
can control the fan and/or lights together or separately using one
or two wall switches. Follow Step 4-3 OR Step 4-4, depending on
what you decide.
Note: If you are not installing a light kit, follow step 4-4.
4-3. If you want to, you can control the fan and light separately using
two wall switches, connect the wires as follows: connect the green
ground wire to the ground wire, connect white wire to white wire,
connect black wire to black wire, and connect the black/white
wire from the fan to the wire for the wall switch.
4-4. Alternatively, you can control both fan and light with one switch.
To do so connect the wires as follows: connect the green ground
wire to the ground wire, connect white wire to white wire,
connect the black and the black/white wire from the fan to the
black wire in the ceiling.
4-5. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place
a wire nut over them, then twist clockwise until tight.
CAUTION: Be sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after
making connections.
4-6. Push all wires and wire nuts back through the ceiling plate hole
into the outlet box.

5 • Installing the Canopy and Canopy Trim Ring
5-1. Holding the canopy, raise the fan off the hook.
5-2. Align the slots in the canopy with the tabs on the ceiling plate.
5-3. Raise the canopy over the ceiling plate. Rotate the canopy
clockwise until the tabs on the ceiling plate totally engage with
the slots in the canopy.
5-4. Loosely assemble the three canopy screws into the canopy one at
a time. Once all three screws are in, tighten them.
5-5. Using both hands, push the canopy trim ring up to the top of the
canopy. e canopy trim ring will snap and lock into place.
Should you need to remove the canopy
trim ring, follow these steps:
1. Locate the tab indicators, small
bumps on top of tabs.
2. Press firmly on opposite sides of the
ring towards the canopy. e tabs
will flex out releasing the trim ring

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 mountings screws and
rubber bumpers from the motor. Save the screws and discard the
bumpers.
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.
