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 Angled 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.
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

• 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

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.
For Angled Ceilings: Be sure to orient the ceiling plate so that the
two tabs are pointing toward the ceiling peak.
2-2. Your fan comes with four preinstalled noise isolators. Check to
make sure all four isolators are in place and were not removed
during shipment.

You must now set the jumpers in the remote transmitter and receiver
so that they match.
4-1. 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.
4-2. 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.

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
In warm weather, use
downward air ow pattern
In cold weather, use upward
air ow pattern
9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2. e remote controls power to the fan. e fan has four settings
in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O.
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.
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.
