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).
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
(In Canada, call 1-866-268-1936).
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.

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. 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.
2-3. Place the ceiling gasket over the ceiling plate so that the slots and
the raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots and
holes on the ceiling plate.
2-4. Use a 3” wood screw to pierce two holes in the ceiling gasket that
match the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1.
2-5. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling gasket and ceiling plate.
Note: e ceiling gasket should be ush against the ceiling.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants
on the screws. Do not over tighten.

the downrod through the canopy. 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.
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.

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.

Your Hunter fan comes with an integrated light xture assembly.
WARNING: Use only the light xture supplied with this fan model.
e switch housing assembly is made up of three sections: the switch
housing gasket, the upper switch housing, and the lower switch housing/
light assembly.
ATTACHING THE SWITCH HOUSING GASKET
AND UPPER SWITCH HOUSING
7-1. Locate the switch housing mounting plate, the switch housing gasket
and the upper plug connector as shown.
NOTE: Your fan may come with the switch housing gasket attached
to the switch housing mounting plate.
If the switch housing gasket is attached to the switch housing mount-
ing plate, go to the section "Attaching the Upper Switch Housing."
If the switch housing gasket is not attached complete the steps
below.
7-2. Identify the top side of the switch housing gasket by looking for the
raised circular ridge on the gasket.
7-3. With the top side of the switch housing gasket facing up towards the
motor, align the holes in the gasket with the spokes on the switch
housing mounting plate.
7-4. Feed the upper plug connector through the center opening of the
upper switch housing. Push the gasket up so that it is seated ush
with the mounting plate .
CAUTION: Make sure the upper switch housing is securely
attached to the switch housing mounting plate. Failure to
properly attach and tighten all three assembly screws could
