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).

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866-268-1936.

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 eﬃciency, 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.

1 • Getting Ready

42781-01•03/11/08•HunterFanCompany

CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,

disconnect the power by turning oﬀ the circuit breakers to the outlet box

and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers

in the oﬀ 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 neoprene noise isolators (“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 should be ﬂush against the ceiling.

2-5. Place a ﬂat 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.

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.

WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these

installation instructions.

3-1.Unbundlethewiresfromthefan.

For Standard or Angled mounting:

3-2. To assemble fan to hang down from a ﬂat or angled ceiling,

insert the downrod through the canopy, adapter cover grommet,

adapter cover, and canopy trim ring. (e adapter cover and

adapter cover grommet may already be attached to make one

piece.) 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

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. Skip to Step 3-7.

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.

For Low Proﬁle mounting:

Note: For low proﬁle mounting, the downrod is replaced with the low

proﬁle washer. e adapter cover and adapter cover grommet are not

used for low proﬁle mounting.

3-4. Removethesetscrewfromtheadapter.

3-5. Place the low proﬁle washer (lip up) into the canopy. Be sure the

green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.

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 diﬀerent code, so that

the operation of one fan does not aﬀect the operation of the other fans.

6 • Wiring the Fan

All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical

codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a

qualiﬁed electrician.

Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch in

accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Note: To hang the fan, you must tilt the canopy to an almost vertical

position so that the canopy slots sit on the ceiling plate hooks.

6-1. Snap the remote control receiver onto the bottom of the ceiling

plate.

6-2.Raisethefanandaligntheslotsinthecanopywiththehooksonthe

ceiling plate.

6-3. Place the slots over the hooks to hang the fan.

6-4. Disconnect the power by turning oﬀ the circuit breakers to the outlet

box and associated wall switch location.

6-5. Place the receiver inside the canopy, making sure that the

dipswitches and the oval shaped holes in the bottom of the receiver

are facing down toward the bottom of the canopy.

6-6. Spread the receiver lead wires to each side and feed the wires from

the top of the fan through the open slot in the receiver.

10-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.

10-2. e remote controls power to the fan. e fan has four settings

insequence:High,Medium,LowandO.

10-3. 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.

10-4. For cleaning ﬁnishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to

preventscratching.Avacuumcleanerbrushnozzlecanremove

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 ﬁnish.

the same manner as the fan ﬁnish.

10 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

42781-01•03/11/08•HunterFanCompany

Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move.

1. Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker.

2. Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the wiring the

fan section.

3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.

4. Push motor reversing switch ﬁrmly left or right to ensure that the

switch is engaged.

5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.

6.Removetheshippingbumpers.

Problem: Noisy operation.

1. Tighten the blade bracket screws until snug.

2. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the blades.

Problem: Excessive wobbling.

1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit

and instructions to balance the fan.

2. Tighten all blade iron screws.

3. Turn power oﬀ, support fan very carefully, and check that the

hanger ball is properly seated.
