getting ready
To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:
• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceiling.
• Drill holes for and install wood screws.
• Identify and connect electrical wires.
• Lift 40 pounds.
If you need help installing the fan, your Hunter fan dealer can direct you to a licensed installer or electrician.
gathering the tools
You will need the following tools for installing the fan:
• Electric drill with 9/64" bit
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers
considering optional accessories
Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wallmounted or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow the instructions included with each product. For quiet
and optimum performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter
speed controls.
checking your fan parts
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Check
for any shipping damage to the motor or fan blades. If one of the
fan blades was damaged in shipment, return all the blades for replacement.
NOTE: If you are installing more than one fan, keep the fan blades
in sets, as they were shipped.
If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or
call Hunter Parts Department at 888-830-1326.

understanding Installer’s Choice
This patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in
one of three ways. The steps in this manual include specific instructions for the fan mounting method of your choice. For a ceiling 8
feet or higher, standard mounting is recommended.

preparing the fan site
These guidelines are designed to help you select the best location
for your fan and to prepare the site prior to installing the fan. Proper
ceiling fan location and attachment to the building structure are
essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.
choosing the fan site
Within the room where you want to install the fan, choose a fan
site where:
• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades
during normal operation.
• The fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the
ceiling is at least 8 feet high.
• The fan blades have no obstructions to air flow, such as
walls or posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.
• The fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will
hold the outlet box and the full weight of the fan.
See Figure 4 for the minimum mounting distances.

Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4" x 1-1/2" outlet box, plus
two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers, available from any
hardware store or electrical supply house.
Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in
the box align with the joist or support brace.
Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood
screws (5/64") through the inner holes of the outlet box.
Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist
with two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. The bottom of
the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into the
ceiling as shown in Figure 7.

Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and
associated wall switch location are turned off. If you cannot
lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the
fan supply line extends at least 6" beyond the box as shown in
Figure 8.
Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved
connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply
house. Refer to Figure 8.
Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards
and ANSI/NFPA 70.

attaching the lower switch housing
removing the wiring harness
Before you can install the optional switch housing, you must remove the wiring harness and its components from the integrated
light fixture. You must then install the wiring harness into the optional switch housing.
Refer to Figure 29.
1. Locate the reversing switch and carefully remove the two screws
holding the reversing switch to the light fixture housing. The
reversing switch can now be removed from the light fixture
housing.
2. Remove the patented breakaway connector from the fan pull
chain.
3. Carefully loosen the bellmouth nut from the fan pull chain
and remove the fan pull chain switch from the light fixture
housing.
4. Locate and carefully remove the two capacitors from the light
fixture assembly.
5. In the light fixture assembly you will find two different plug
connectors: One multi-wire connector and two two-wire connectors. Unplug the two-wire connectors; one connector will
have a black with white stripes wire and a white wire coming
from the multi-wire connector.
6. You have now disconnected the wiring harness and its components from the light fixture housing and are ready to install
them into the optional switch housing.

Turn on electrical power to the fan.
The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain
has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and Off.
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the
blades.
• The chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if
the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain
into the connector.
The light pull chain controls power to the light. The pull chain
has two settings: On and Off.
Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a
direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at
the ceiling around the room without causing a draft. Refer to
Figure 31.

For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to prevent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt
and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a
slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never
use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.
caring for blades
Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing
cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied
for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades
may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.
