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
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).

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.

42790-01 • 20080925 • Hunter Fan Company
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 four noise 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 must be ush against the ceiling. A loose
ceiling plate will result in improper operation of the Perfect
BalanceTM system.
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.
Step 2-2
Steps 2-3 – 2-5
For Angled Ceilings: Be sure to
orient the ceiling plate so that the
arrows printed on the ceiling plate are
pointing toward the ceiling peak.

Note: Your Hunter fan comes with an optional downrod extension
pipe. If you are hanging the fan on a ceiling higher than 10 feet tall
and you would like to use the enclosed optional downrod, follow
steps 3-5 – 3-9 on the next page.
3-1. Unbundle the wires from the fan.
WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these
installation instructions.
For Standard or Angled mounting:
3-2. Insert the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring.
Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod.
3-3. Using the provided Allen wrench, loosen the setscrew on the
adapter to install the pipe and ball assembly. Note: When the

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.
3-4. Raise the fan and place the hook on the ceiling plate through the
U-shaped hole in the rim.

Steps 7-1 – 7-2
7-1. If you are using one of the enclosed downrods, it is now time
for you to activate the Perfect BalanceTM system by removing the
ve red retaining screws. Rotate the blades slowly until one of the
red retaining screws is visible through the notch in the mounting
plate. Remove the retaining screw from the bottom of the fan
housing using a screwdriver. Repeat this process for all 5 retaining
screws.
Note: After the retaining screws are removed, the blades will feel loose.
is is normal, as loose blades are a characteristic of the Perfect
BalanceTM system.
7-2. If you are using a downrod longer than 6 inches, leave the
retaining screws in their place and continue the installation
process.

9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2. e rst time the fan is turned on, let it run continuously and
undisturbed for 10-15 minutes. e fan may wobble at rst, but then
the Perfect BalanceTM mechanism will take control and balance out the
fan.
Note: e rst time the fan is turned on, the components might make
a slight noise as they come in contact with each other. is sound is
normal and will stop within moments.
9-3. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has ve
settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, Serenity Speed, and O. Pull
the chain slowly to change settings. Release slowly to prevent the chain
from recoiling into the blades. e chain uses a breakaway connector
that separates if the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the
chain into the connector.
9-4. 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.
9-5. 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.
9-6. 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.
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.
