getting ready

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:

• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceil-

ing.

• 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 di-

rect 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

considering optional accessories

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-

mounted or remote speed control. To install and use the accesso-

ries, follow the instructions included with each product. For quiet

and optimum performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter

speed controls.

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 re-

placement.

NOTE: If you are installing more than one fan, keep the fan blades

in sets, as they were shipped.

If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or

call Hunter Parts Department at 888-830-1326.

understanding Installer’s Choice

®

This patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum

installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in

one of three ways. The steps in this manual include specific instruc-

tions for the fan mounting method of your choice. For a ceiling 8

feet or higher, standard mounting is recommended.

preparing the fan site

These guidelines are designed to help you select the best location

for your fan and to prepare the site prior to installing the fan. Proper

ceiling fan location and attachment to the building structure are

essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and en-

ergy savings.

choosing the fan site

Within the room where you want to install the fan, choose a fan

site where:

• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades

during normal operation.

• The fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the

ceiling is at least 8 feet high.

• The fan blades have no obstructions to air flow, such as

walls or posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.

• The fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will

hold the outlet box and the full weight of the fan.

See Figure 4 for the minimum mounting distances.

x section.

If there is not an adequate ceiling joist available, do the following:

1. Attach a 2" x 4" support brace between two joists. The sup-

port brace must allow the bottom of the outlet box to be re-

cessed a minimum of 1/16" into the ceiling. See Figure 7.

2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight

of the fan and light kit.

installing the outlet box

1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4" x 1-1/2" outlet box, plus

two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers, available from any

hardware store or electrical supply house.

2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in

the box align with the joist or support brace.

3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood

screws (5/64") through the inner holes of the outlet box.

4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist

with two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. The bottom of

the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into the

ceiling as shown in Figure 7.

1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and

associated wall switch location are turned off. 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. Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the

fan supply line extends at least 6" beyond the box as shown in

Figure 8.

3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved

connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply

house. Refer to Figure 8.

wiring the fan

1. Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to

the outlet box and associated wall switch location.

2. You can use either one or two wall switches to control the fan

and/or lights separately. Use connection 1, as described in Fig-

ure 17, to

• control the light with a wall switch and the fan with a pull

chain (one wall switch required),

• control the light with a pull chain and the fan with a wall

switch (one wall switch required), or

• control the light with one wall switch and the fan with

another (two wall switches required).

Use connection 2, as described in Figure 17, if there is no sepa-

rate wall switch power wire for the light fixture.

NOTE: Wall switches not included.

3. Connect the wires as shown in Figure 17. To connect the wires,

twist the bare metal leads together. Place a wire nut over the

intertwined length of wire and twist clockwise until tight as.

assembling the blades

Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold

the blade to the fan).

1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grom-

mets, insert them by hand into the holes on the blades as shown

in Figure 22.

operating your ceiling fan

1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.

2. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain

has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and Off.

• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.

• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the

blades.

• The chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if

the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain

into the connector.

3. The light pull chain controls power to the light. The pull chain

has two settings: On and Off.

4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclock-

wise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a

direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clock-

wise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at

the ceiling around the room without causing a draft. Refer to

Figure 30.

cleaning your ceiling fan

caring for finishes

For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre-

vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re-

move heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt

and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a

slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never

use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.

caring for blades

Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing

cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied

for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades

may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.

troubleshooting

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

n section.

3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.

4. Push motor reversing switch firmly up or down 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. Tighten the blade screws until snug.

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

blades.

4. Change to an approved speed control.

5. Be sure that the glass is secure.

6. Check and tighten the screws in the switch housing

mounting plate and in the upper and lower switch hous-

ing.

Problem: Excessive wobbling.

1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed bal-

ancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.

2. Tighten all blade and/or blade iron screws.

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

the hanger ball is properly seated.
