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:

Check the outlet box:

30 inches
from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction

7 feet
from bottom edge of blade to the floor

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

Support Structure

Checking the Ceiling Angle:
Angled Mounting

Support Structure

Ceiling Outlet Box (required)

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: 1. You will 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)

Angled Mounting

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 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 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. Remove any existing bracket prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan's box.
Do this first!

Hunter Pro Tip:
The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.

OFF Turn Power

WARNING
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.
ANGLED MOUNTING TIP

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.

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:

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.

Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
Connect the black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the black and the blue wires from the fan.

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.

Installing the Pull Chains

Feed the pull chains from the fan switch and the light switch down through the holes in the upper switch housing as shown. Attach the pull chain pendants to the light and fan pull chains.

The fan pull chain controls the speed: from high to off.

Repeat x2
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. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.
Reverse Switch

The light pull chain controls the light fixture: on and off.
Note:
Fan style may vary.
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.

Note:
Fan style may vary.
