Choosing the Right Installation Location

Check the room dimensions:

• Blade Clearance: 30 inches from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction.
• Floor Clearance: 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 a fan-rated outlet box.

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

Standard Mounting:

Requires a support structure and a ceiling outlet box.

Angled Mounting:

Requires a support structure and a ceiling outlet box.

• Flat Ceiling: Use a standard downrod. A shorter downrod may be available for low-profile installation.
• Angled or Vaulted Ceiling: You may need a longer downrod (sold separately) and an Angled Mounting Kit (sold separately).

A little more information on Angled Mounting:

For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod should be used with high or angled ceilings. If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit.

Hunter Pro Tip: To determine if you need an Angled Mounting Kit, fold the guide on the dotted line, place it against the wall and slide towards the ceiling. If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you need an angled mounting kit.

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

Remove any existing bracket. Use only the provided Hunter ceiling bracket.

Do this first! Turn Power OFF.

Option 1: Machine Screws

Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers 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.

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

Installing the Downrod

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

1. Back out the pre-installed setscrew so that its threads are still engaged, but the shank does not protrude and obstruct the insertion of the downrod.
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.
5. 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.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Hanging the Fan

Slide the canopy over the downrod and wires.

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

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

Progress Check: Your fan should look like this.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Wiring the Fan

Follow these steps to wire your fan safely. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, please contact a qualified electrician.

Hunter Pro Tip: To connect wires, push bare metal ends together, slide a wire nut over them, and twist clockwise until tight. Give a gentle pull to ensure wires are secure.

• Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the receiver.
• Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to both the white wire from the receiver and the white wire from the fan.
• Connect the blue wire from the receiver to the blue wire from the fan.
• Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.

Hunter Pro Tip: Turn 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. Make sure wires are still attached to wire nuts.

Note: Fan style may vary.

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.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing the Blades

Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade washers and three blade assembly screws, found in the hardware bag.

Repeat x4

Note: Fan style may vary.

Assembling the Light Kit

1. Screw two housing assembly screws from the hardware bag halfway into the motor housing. It does not matter which two screw holes you choose.
2. Feed the 9-pin plug connector coming from the bottom of the motor housing through the center hole in the light kit assembly. Connect it to the plug connector found in the switch housing area of the light kit assembly. Line up the colored markings on the connectors.
3. Align the keyhole slots in the top of the light kit assembly with the partially installed assembly screws. Wrap the keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise.
4. Insert the third screw, found in the hardware bag, and firmly tighten all three screws.
5. Carefully push all switch housing components into the switch housing, then install the switch housing plate using two short light kit assembly screws, found in the hardware bag.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing the 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 of the glass until it stops.

NOTE: Check to ensure proper engagement.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Preparing the Remote Control

The remote control is already paired for use. A remote function card is packed with your remote.

Battery Compartment: Remove the small Phillips head screw that secures the battery door. The battery should be installed with the positive (+) side up. Replace with a CR2032 battery when necessary.

Pairing the Remote: Turn fan power off and back on at the wall switch. Within 3 minutes, press and hold both the Fan Off button and the High button for 4 seconds to pair the remote. To prevent faulty operation, ensure all other ceiling fans within range are turned off at the wall switch while pairing.

Operating the Fan: Press a fan speed button (0-3) to turn on the fan. Speeds range from off (0) to high (3). Quickly press the Light button to turn the lights off and on.

Controlling Your Fan

Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise rotation). To change the direction of airflow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. The reversing switch is located inside the light fixture and can only be accessed when the glass is removed. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. 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.

Troubleshooting

Fan Doesn't Work

• Make sure power switch is on.
• Push the motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure it is engaged.
• Check the circuit breaker to ensure the power is turned on.
• Make sure the blades spin freely.
• Turn off power from the circuit breaker, then loosen the canopy and check all the connections according to the wiring diagram. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.

Excessive Wobbling

• Make sure the blades are properly installed on the blade iron posts.
• Turn the power off, support the fan carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.

Noisy Operation

• Make sure the blades are properly installed.
• Check to see if any of the blades are cracked. If so, replace all of the blades.

Remote Control of Fan is Erratic

• Make sure the battery is installed correctly.
• Install a fresh battery.

Remote Only Works Close to Fan

• Change battery.

Remote Pairing Issues

1. To prevent faulty operation, please ensure all other ceiling fans within range are turned off at the wall switch while pairing.
2. If your need to pair your remote, turn fan power off and back on at the wall switch. Within 3 minutes, press and hold both the Fan Off button and the High button for 4 seconds to pair the remote.

Multiple Remote Issues

If you have multiple remotes or multiple remote-controlled fans installed on the same circuit breaker and are experiencing interference or faulty operation, please visit www.HunterFan.com/FAQs and click "How do I properly install multiple remote-controlled fans?" for information on how to correct this issue.

Hunter Pro Tip: Use soft brushes or cloths to prevent scratching. Cleaning products may damage the finishes.
