Cautions and Warnings

• READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING

INSTALLATION. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

• Use only Hunter replacement parts.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury, attach the fan directly to the support structure of the building according to these instructions, and use only the hardware supplied.

• To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. 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.

• 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.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade attachment system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan.

Never insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or motor damage, do not use a solid-state speed control with this fan. Use only Hunter speed controls.

6 • Assembling the Blades

Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the blade to the fan).

6-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets, insert them by hand into the holes on the blades.

6-2. Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose after screws are tightened. This is normal.

6-3. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers from the motor. Note: Some blade mounting screws are installed in the motor to secure shipping blocks.

6-4. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the blade iron, and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws.

8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.

8-2. 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.

8-3. 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.

8-4. 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.

8-5. 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 warm weather, use downward air flow pattern

In cold weather, use upward air flow pattern

To Change Airflow Direction

Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the opposite position. Restart fan.
