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 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.
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
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.

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
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers
Checking Your Fan Parts
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Check
for any shipping damage to the motor or fan blades. If one of the fan
blades was damaged in shipment, return all the blades for replacement.
If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts 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.
1 • Getting Ready
Installing Multiple Fans?
If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades in
sets, as they were shipped.

2 • Installing the Hanger Bracket
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.

You can assemble your fan for standard or angled mounting as shown
in steps 3-1 – 3-3. For low profile mounting (ceilings less than 8 feet
high), go to steps 3-6 – 3-9 on the next page.
3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a at or angled ceiling, place
the canopy and canopy trim ring around the adapter so that they
rest on the fan assembly.
3-2. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod.
Note: Make sure all the wires are on the same side of the metal
dowel pin inside the dowrod.
3-3. Using the provided Allen wrench, loosen the setscrew 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. Use the Allen wrench to securely
retighten the setscrew.
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.
WARNING: Do not carry or lift fan by canopy.
3-4. Raise the fan and place the ball into the hanger bracket.
3-5. Align the notch on the ball with the indent in the hanger bracket.

and blade, into the medallion. If you used grommets, the blades
may appear slightly loose after screws are tightened. is is
normal.
6-3. Remove the blade armature screws and rubber shipping bumpers
from the motor. Save the screws for the following step and
discard the shipping bumpers.
6-4. For each blade, insert one blade armature screw through the
blade iron, and attach loosely to the fan. Insert the second blade

8 • Setting the Remote Transmitter and Receiver
CAUTION: e remote control device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Changes or modications not expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company could void
your authority to operate this equipment.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. is device may not cause harmful interference.
2. is device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Note: Use with a fan that incorporates an air gap switch (normal on-o wall switch).
WARNING: Maximum fan load is 1 Amp; maximum lamp is 100 Watts. Do not use
any speed control with this product.
You must now set the jumpers in the remote transmitter and receiver
so that they match.
8-1. Change the position of the jumpers in the transmitter and the
receiver. Be sure the position of the jumper in the transmitter
matches the position of the jumper in the receiver. If they don’t
match, the controller will not function. For instructions on how
to set the jumpers, read the box below.
8-2. Install the included 12-volt battery into the transmitter.
Setting Jumpers
When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire to
have the receiver/transmitter for each fan set to a dierent code, so that
the operation of one fan does not aect the operation of the other fans.
In the transmitter you can access the jumpers from the battery
compartment. e jumpers are very small. You can move them most
easily using a small pair of pliers or tweezers. IMPORTANT! Before
you change a jumper, make sure the battery is not connected to the
transmitter.

11-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
11-2. 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.
11-3. 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.
11-4. 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.
