different bags. Make note of the symbol printed on
each hardware bag. The symbols can be used to
identify the appropriate hardware for each step.
We recommend that you pull everything out of the box and lay it out. We have
grouped the drawn components below with the hardware you’ll need for those
parts. The screws below are drawn to scale to make it easier to identify what
piece of hardware is needed to install each component.

Choosing the Right Installation Location
Checking the Ceiling Angle:
Angled Mounting
You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let’s check below to make sure it is a good t.
If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling:
1. You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
2. If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an
Angled Mounting Kit. (Sold separately at HunterFan.com)
Check the room dimensions: Check the outlet box:
You must be able to
secure the fan to building
structure or fan-rated
outlet box.

A little more information on Angled Mounting:
For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod should
be used with your Hunter ceiling fan when installing on high or angled
ceiling. If your ceiling is angled greater than 34°you will also need an
Angled Mounting Kit. Longer downrods and the Angled Mounting Kit are
sold separately at HunterFan.com.
Determining if you need an Angled Mounting Kit:
Fold on the dotted line. Place edge against the wall.
Slide towards the ceiling.
If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you
need an angled mounting kit.

Check the outlet box:
Installing the Ceiling Bracket
Use wood screws and
washers (included) when
securing to support structure
with approved electrical
outlet box. Drill 9/64” pilot
holes in support structure
to aid in securing ceiling
bracket with hardware found
in the hardware bag.
Use machine screws
(provided with outlet box)
and washers when securing
to existing ceiling fan-rated
outlet box. Make sure it is
securely installed and is
acceptable for fan support of
31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.

Wiring the Fan
We know wiring is hard. Let’s make it easier.
You are going to need these:
4 Wire Nuts (these are in the bag)
Follow these steps to get your fan wired quickly and safely. Follow the route below that best matches your wall switch
setup. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or uncomfortable doing it yourself, please contact a qualied electrician.
Have a single switch?
Follow these steps:
Hunter Pro Tip:
Here is how to connect the wires:
Push the bare metal ends of the wires together and slide a wire
nut over them. Then, twist the wire nut clockwise until tight.
Give it a gentle pull to make sure none of the wires are loose.
Connect the white
(grounded) wire
from the ceiling
to the white wire
from the fan.
Connect the three
grounding wires (green,
green/yellow stripe, or
bare copper) coming from
the ceiling, downrod, and
hanging bracket.

70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or in
doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
WARNING
The ceiling fan must be grounded. If the
ground wire for the installation site is not
present, immediately STOP installation and
consult a qualied electrician.
Have extra wiring?
Turn the wires upward and push them carefully back through
the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Spread the wires apart,
with the grounded wires on one side of the outlet box and the
ungrounded wires on the other side of the outlet box. Make
sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.

Troubleshooting
Cleaning the Fan
Use soft brushes or cloths to prevent scratching.
Cleaning products may damage the nishes.
Hunter Pro Tip:
Fan Doesn’t Work
• Push the motor reversing switch rmly left or right to ensure that it is engaged.
• Check the circuit breaker to ensure the power is turned on.
• Make sure the blades spin freely.
• Turn off power from the circuit breaker, then loosen the canopy and check all the
connections according to the wiring diagram.
Excessive Wobbling
• Make sure the blades are properly installed on the blade iron posts.
• Turn the power off, support the fan carefully, and check that the hanger ball is
properly seated.
• Use the provided balancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.
Noisy Operation
• Make sure the blades are properly installed.
• Check to see if any of the blades are cracked. If so, replace all of the blades.
Reversing the Fan
Reverse
Switch
Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft
(counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise
rotation). To change the direction of air ow, turn the
fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Slide the
reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart
the fan.
Updraft (clockwise rotation)
creates a more indirect airow.
Updraft airow is great for
moving warm air downward.
Downdraft (counterclockwise
rotation) creates a direct breeze
and maximum cooling effect.
Fan style may vary.
