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.

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 Angle mounting. e steps in this manual include
instructions for the Standard and the Angled 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 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.

Setting the Dipswitches
You will only have to change the dipswitch settings in the remote if you are using more than
one remote controlled fan in the same area and want to control them separately. You may
want to label your remotes to ensure you do not mix them up.
1. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power o for the fan you want to change. Do
not turn the power o at the circuit breaker for the previously installed fan, as you may
inadvertently change the dipswitch code settings for it as well.
2. Slide the cover o the back of the remote and remove the battery. e battery must be
removed when changing dipswitch settings. Refer to Step 8-1.
3. Change the dipswitch settings, so that they are dierent from the previously installed fan.
4. Replace the battery and cover.
5. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power back on for the fan whose settings you
are changing.
6. Within 20 seconds of restoring power, push the 3 (high), 2 (medium), and 1 (low) buttons
(in that order) on the remote.
Note: e receiver (built into the fan) has a memory function that retains the last
dipswitch code setting. e setting will not change in the event of power failure or if the
power to the fan is inadvertently shut o.

To Change Airow Direction
Press the reversing switch on the remote
while the fan is running.
9-1. To start the fan, press the speed button on the remote at the level
you desire: 3 for high, 2 for medium, 1 for low. To turn o the fan,
press the o button on the remote.
9-2. You can control the uplight and downlight using separate buttons
on the remote. To turn the light on or o independently from
the fan, press the appropriate light button once for gradual o or
twice for instant o.
With the Auto Resume feature, the light will come on at the level
you used last. You can also hold the light button down to use the
remote as a dimmer. (As you hold the button, the light level will
move throughout its entire range within 16 seconds.) Release the
button at the desired level.
9-3. 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.
9-4. 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.
9-5. 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.
