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:
- 30 inches from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction
- 7 feet from bottom edge of blade to the floor
Check the outlet box:
You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or fan-rated outlet box.
Checking the Ceiling Angle:
Standard Mounting
Ceiling Outlet Box (required), Support Structure
Angled Mounting
Ceiling Outlet Box (required), Support Structure
If you have a flat ceiling:
Hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans come with a shorter downrod for a Low Profile installation.
If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling:
- You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
- If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit. (Sold separately at HunterFan.com)
Angled Mounting
For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod should be used with your Hunter ceiling fan when installing on high or angled ceiling. 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 againts the wall. Slide towards the ceiling. If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you need an angled mounting kit.
34° CEILING
Installing the Ceiling Bracket
You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location. Remove any existing bracket prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan's box.
Do this first!
Turn Power OFF
AWARNING 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.
Option 1: Machine Screws
Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securing to existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Make sure it is securely installed and is 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 support structure with approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64" pilot holes in support structure to aid in securing ceiling bracket with hardware found in the hardware bag.
Hunter Pro Tip: The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.
- BAG Washer x2
- BAG Wood Screw x2
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.
- STEP 1: Remove the pre-installed setscrew so that the downrod can be inserted.
- STEP 2: Pass all wires to one side of horizontal bar in downrod assembly. Hand tighten the downrod (at least 4-5 full turns) until it stops. Trim the wires coming from the fan so that 8-inches remain coming from the top of the downrod.
- STEP 3: Tighten the setscrew with pliers. DO NOT HAND TIGHTEN.
Hunter Pro Tip: The ground wire attached to the downrod is approximately 8 inches. (not to scale)
AWARNING 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.
Hanging the Fan
Slide canopy over downrod and wires.
Progress Check: Your fan should look like this.
NOTICE To prevent damage to fan, ALWAYS lift holding either the fan housing or the downrod.
Place the downrod ball into the slot in the ceiling bracket.
Note: Fan style may vary.
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 BAG)
Have a single switch? Follow these steps:
- Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
- Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.
- Cap the blue wire from the fan. You will not need it for single switch wiring.
Hunter Pro Tip: Here is how to connect the wires: Push the bare metal ends of the wires together and slide a wire nut over them. Then, twist the wire nut clockwise until tight. Give it a gentle pull to make sure none of the wires are loose.
AWARNING 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.
AWARNING 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. Spread the wires apart, with the grounded wires on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded wires on the other side of the outlet box. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.
- BAG Wire Nut x4
- Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.
