Preparing the Fan Site
Step 1 - Choose the Fan Site
Proper ceiling fan location and attachment to the building
structure are essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum
efficiency, and energy savings.
30” From
Wall or
Choose a fan site where:
8’ Minimum

• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades during
normal operation.

Blades to
Floor
Height
• e fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the ceiling is
at least 8 feet high.
• e fan blades have no obstructions to airflow, such as walls or
posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.
• e fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will hold the
outlet box and the full weight of the fan.
Checklist for Existing Fan Site
If you want to use an existing fan site, complete the following checklist to determine
if the site is acceptable and safe for your new Hunter fan. If you cannot check off
every item, prepare a new fan site as described on this page.

Preparing the Fan Site (continued)
Step 2 - Cut the Ceiling Hole
2-1. Locate the site for the ceiling hole directly below the joist or support brace that
will hold the outlet box and fan.
2-2. Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling. You will use
the hole to install the support brace and outlet box.
Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary
Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole. If the joist is there,
determine if it is positioned to allow you to recess the outlet box a minimum of
1/16” into the ceiling. If NOT, install a support brace as follows:
3-1. Attach a 2” x 4” support brace between two joists. Position it to allow you to
recess the bottom of the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.
Steps 2 – 3
3-2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight of the fan and
light kit.
Step 4 - Install the Outlet Box
4-1. 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.
4-2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in the box align
with the joist or support brace.
4-3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64”)
through the inner holes of the outlet box.
Step 4
4-4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist with two #8 x 1-1/2”
wood screws and washers. e bottom of the outlet box must be recessed a
minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.
Step 5 - Prepare the Wiring
5-1. 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.
5-2. read the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the fan supply line
extends at least 6” beyond the box.
5-3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved connector,
available at any hardware store or electrical supply house.
5-4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards and ANSI/NFPA 70.
Step 5
CAUTION: All wiring must be in
accordance with national and local
electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If
you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a
qualified electrician.
You have now successfully prepared your ceiling fan site. For instructions to install
your ceiling fan, go to your fan manual and continue with Section 2 • Installing the

Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®
Support Brace
Hunter’s patented 2-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of two ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Standard
or Angled mounting. e steps in this manual include instructions for
both Installer’s Choice mounting methods.

Considering Optional Accessories
Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
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.
Standard Mounting hangs from the
ceiling by a downrod (included).
For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase
Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use
sturdy 3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability and
wobble-free performance.

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
9-1. e remote controls power to the fan. e fan has four settings
in sequence: High, Medium, Low and Off.
9-2. 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.
9-3. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to
prevent scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove
heavier dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and
dust using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You
may use an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as
they will damage the finish.
In warm weather, use
downward air flow pattern
9-4. Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in
the same manner as the fan finish.
In cold weather, use upward
air flow pattern
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop.
Unscrew the cap at the bottom of the glass globe
and remove the cap, finial, and glass shade. Slide the
reversing switch on the fan to the opposite position.
After reinstalling glass, finial, and cap, restart fan.

10 • Troubleshooting
Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move
1. Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker.
2. Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the wiring the fan section.
3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.
4. Push motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure that the switch is engaged.
5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.
6. Remove the shipping bumpers.
Problem: Noisy operation
1. Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron armature screws until snug.
2. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the blades.
Problem: Excessive wobbling
1. Make sure the blades are securely attached to the blade irons according to the blade assembly instructions
provided.
2. After thoroughly verifying the blades are securely attached to the blade irons, follow the instructions in the
enclosed balancing kit to balance the fan.
3. Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.
Problem: Lights shut off suddenly, but fan is still operating
1. Check to make sure the wattage and type of the light bulbs that are installed meet the specifications on the
light socket.
2. Turn the power to the fan off at the wall switch. Wait 5 minutes, then resume power to the fan.
Problem: CFL bulbs flicker when controlled by a dimming remote or wall control
1. CFL light bulbs are not usually made for dimming. Replace the CFL bulbs with dimmable light bulbs, or install
the fan in a location without a dimming control.
