mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
w.2 - To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or servicing 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.
w.3 – To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.

Choosing the Right Installation Location
You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let’s check below to make sure it is a good fit.
Check the room dimensions:
Check the outlet box:
30 inches
from blade tip to
nearest wall or
obstruction
You must be able to
secure the fan to building
structure or fan-rated
outlet box.

If you have a flat ceiling:
Hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans come
with a shorter downrod for a Low Profile installation.
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)
Angled Mounting
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.
WALL
Hunter Pro Tip:
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.

Installing the Pull Chains
Feed the pull chains from the fan switch
and the light switch down through the
holes in the upper switch housing as
shown. Attach the pull chain pendants
to the light and fan pull chains.
The fan pull chain controls
the speed: from high to off.
Repeat x2
The light pull chain controls
the light fixture: on and off.
Reversing the Fan
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.
The reversing switch is located inside the light fixture glass. It can only be accessed when the
cage is removed. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.
Reverse
Switch
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.
