Warnings

• ⚠️ To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan directly from building structure and/or an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg) and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
• ⚠️ To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or servicing 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.
• ⚠️ To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
• ⚠️ To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

Tools Needed for Installation

Here are the tools you'll need to complete your installation:

What's in Your Box

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.

Hunter Pro Tip: Do not discard the hardware bags or mix parts from 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.

❗IMPORTANT: Remove the shipping blocks from the motor. Save the screws. They will be needed for blade iron installation. Note: Some fans will have a shipping ring instead of shipping blocks. Please remove the ring and save the screws.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Find a part that is missing or damaged? Don't take it back to the store. Let us make it right. Visit us at HunterFan.com or call us at 1.888.830.1326.

Choosing the Right Installation Location

You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let's check below to make sure it is a good fit.

Check the room dimensions:

Ensure at least 30 inches from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction, and at least 7 feet from the bottom edge of the blade to the floor.

Check the outlet box:

You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or a fan-rated outlet box.

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

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 ceilings. 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.

Hunter Pro Tip: Determining if you need an Angled Mounting Kit: Fold on the dotted line. Place against edge against the wall. Slide towards the ceiling. If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you need an angled mounting kit.

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location.

⚠️ Do this first! To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with the wall switch location.

ANGLED MOUNTING TIP: For angled ceilings, point the opening toward the peak.

Installing the Downrod

Follow below if you are using the downrod that came pre-assembled in your box. Need to install a longer or shorter downrod? Check out the guide at the end of this manual.

Hanging the Fan

Slide canopy over downrod and wires.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to fan, ALWAYS lift holding either the fan housing or the downrod. DO NOT PICK THE FAN UP BY THE CANOPY OR WIRES. Place the downrod ball into the slot in the ceiling bracket.

Progress Check: Your fan should look like this.

Wiring the Fan

We know wiring is hard. Let's make it easier. 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 qualified electrician.

You are going to need these:

• 4 Wire Nuts (these are in the hardware bag)

Have a single switch?

Follow these steps:

⚠️WARNING: The ceiling fan must be grounded. If the ground wire for the installation site is not present, immediately STOP installation and consult a qualified electrician.

⚠️WARNING: All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Hunter Pro Tip: Have extra wiring? Turn the wires upward and push them carefully back through the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.

Have dual switches?

Follow these steps:

Installing the Canopy

Insert the two canopy screws found in the hardware bag.

Lift the canopy into place so that the screw holes are aligned. Fit the canopy in place as shown.

Hunter Pro Tip: Let the tool do the work! A magnetic screwdriver will give you more visibility when securing the canopy.

Installing the Blades

Insert grommets found in the hardware bag into the holes in the blades, then secure each blade to a blade arm with screws found in the hardware bag.

Repeat x5

Lightly attach the blade arms to the motor with the blade arm screws, then securely tighten after both screws are attached.

Note: Remember the screws that you kept after removing the shipping blocks? You need them here.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Assembling the Light

Remove the cardboard plug guard before proceeding!

Connect the plugs from the fan and light fixture. Make sure to line up the colored markings on the connectors.

Push the connector and excess wire into the hole at the top of the light fixture.

❗IMPORTANT: The connector and excess wiring must be pushed into the light fixture in order to successfully mount the light fixture to the fan.

Raise the light kit to the bottom of the fan. Align the notch on the mounting ring on the top of the light kit with the pin in the mounting bracket on the bottom of the fan.

Hold the fan body stationary and rotate the light fixture clockwise to engage the locking pin.

Installing the Bulb and Glass

⚠️GLASS FALL HAZARD To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure that glass is properly secured.

Install the shades onto the sockets. Install the socket rings, found in the hardware bag, onto the sockets. Tighten them by turning clockwise with the socket ring glass tool.

Repeat x3

Install each included LED bulb into their sockets. When necessary, replace with bulbs of the same wattage.

Note: Fan style may vary.
