Choosing the Right Installation Location
Checking the Ceiling Angle:
Angled Mounting
You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let’s check below to make sure it is a good fit.
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)
Check the room dimensions: Check the outlet box:
You must be able to
secure the fan to building
structure or fan-rated
outlet box.

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.
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.

Check the outlet box:
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.
Use machine screws (provided with
outlet box) and washers when secur-
ing 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).

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.
Slide the adapter cover onto the
downrod until it rests against
the hanger ball.
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.
Hunter Pro Tip:
The ground wire attached to the
downrod is approximately 8 inches.
Hunter Pro Tip:
The adapter cover is not used
for low-profi le mounting.
Installing the Downrod
Tighten the setscrew
with pliers. DO NOT
HAND TIGHTEN.
WARNING

Hunter Pro Tip:
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 qualifi ed electrician.
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.
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 qualifi ed electrician.
WARNING
The ceiling fan must be grounded. If the
ground wire for the installation site is not
present, immediately STOP installation
and consult a qualifi ed electrician.

Reversing the Fan
Reverse
Switch
Adapter
Cover
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.
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.

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.
