Hunter Aerodyne Ceiling Fan Installation Manual

Choosing the Right Installation Location

Ensure your chosen location is suitable:

Check the room dimensions:

• Maintain at least 30 inches clearance from blade tip to the nearest wall or obstruction.
• Ensure at least 7 feet clearance from the bottom edge of the blades 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:

Standard Mounting: For flat ceilings, hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans include a shorter downrod for low-profile installation.

Angled Mounting: For angled or vaulted ceilings:

1. You may 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).

A little more information on Angled Mounting: For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod is recommended for high or angled ceilings. If your ceiling angle exceeds 34°, an Angled Mounting Kit is required. Longer downrods and the Angled Mounting Kit are sold separately at HunterFan.com.

Hunter Pro Tip: To determine if you need an Angled Mounting Kit, fold the guide on the dotted line and place it against the wall, sliding it 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. Remove any existing bracket prior to installation. Use only the provided Hunter ceiling bracket.

Do this first!

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, disconnect power by turning off circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location.

Option 1: Machine Screws

Use machine screws and washers (provided with outlet box) when securing to an existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Ensure it is securely installed and acceptable for fan support of 31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.

Option 2: Wood Screws

Use wood screws and washers (included) when securing to a support structure with an approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64" pilot holes in the support structure to aid in securing the ceiling bracket with hardware found in the hardware bag.

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

Installing the Downrod

Follow these steps if using the downrod that came pre-assembled. For longer or shorter downrods, refer to the guide at the end of this manual.

1. Back out the pre-installed setscrew so its threads are still engaged, but the shank does not protrude and obstruct downrod insertion.
2. Pass all wires to one side of the horizontal bar in the downrod assembly.
3. Hand-tighten the downrod until it stops (at least 4-5 complete revolutions).
4. Tighten the setscrew with pliers. DO NOT HAND TIGHTEN.

WARNING: FAN FALL HAZARD

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS tighten setscrew with pliers.
• DO NOT hand tighten setscrew.
• CHECK the setscrew is tight using pliers each time you change fan direction.

Trim the wires coming from the fan so that 8 inches remain coming from the top of the downrod.

Hunter Pro Tip: The ground wire attached to the downrod is approximately 8 inches.

Hanging the Fan

Slide the canopy over the downrod and wires.

Place the downrod ball into the slot in the ceiling bracket.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to the fan, ALWAYS lift holding either the fan housing or the downrod.

Progress Check: Your fan should look like this.

Wiring the Fan

Follow these steps for quick and safe wiring. Choose the route matching your wall switch setup. If unfamiliar with wiring, contact a qualified electrician.

You are going to need: 4 Wire Nuts (these are in the bag).

Have a single switch?

1. Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
2. Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.
3. Cap the blue wire from the fan; it is not needed for single switch wiring.
4. Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.

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 (connecting wires): Push the bare metal ends of the wires together and slide a wire nut over them. Twist the wire nut clockwise until tight. Give it a gentle pull to ensure none of the wires are loose.

Hunter Pro Tip (extra wiring): Turn wires upward and push them carefully back through the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Spread wires apart, with grounded wires on one side and ungrounded wires on the other. Ensure wires are still attached to wire nuts.

Have dual switches?

1. Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
2. Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.
3. Connect the second ungrounded (light) wire from the ceiling to the blue wire from the fan.
4. Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.

Installing the Canopy

Fit the canopy in place as shown. Lift the canopy into place so that the screw holes are aligned. Insert the two canopy screws found in the hardware bag.

Installing the Blades

Put the blade washers found in the hardware bag onto the blade screws found in the hardware bag. Then install the blade screws to secure each blade to the fan. Repeat x5.

AIMPORTANT NOTE: Follow the instructions on the blade. Installing it incorrectly could result in your fan not functioning.

Assembling the Light Kit

1. Loosen the two pre-installed screws.
2. Feed the wire plugs through the center hole of the upper switch housing, then wrap keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise.
3. After rotating the upper switch housing into place, tighten all three screws securely.
4. Connect the single-pin connectors from the light kit assembly to the connectors from the fan. Connect the white wires together. Connect the blue and black wires together.
5. Carefully push all switch housing components into the switch housing, then install the switch housing plate using the two pre-installed light kit screws.

WARNING: FAN FALL HAZARD

Make sure all three screws are tight to secure the trim ring to the mounting plate.

Installing the Bulbs and Glass

1. Install the included LED bulbs into the sockets. When necessary, replace with bulbs of the same wattage.
2. Lift the globe and align the notches in the globe with the tabs in the light kit.
3. Attach the globe by lifting and turning clockwise one third of a full turn until it stops. NOTE: Check to ensure proper engagement.

WARNING: GLASS FALL HAZARD

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure that glass is properly secured.

Turn Power ON ⚡.

Reversing the Fan

Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise rotation). To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Use the remote control to change direction. Restart the fan.

Updraft (clockwise rotation) creates a more indirect airflow. Updraft airflow is great for moving warm air downward.

Downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) creates a direct breeze and maximum cooling effect.
