Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice® Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low Profile, Standard, or Angle mounting. The steps in this manual include instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.
1 • 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.
2 • Installing the Ceiling Plate 2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the outermost holes in the outlet box. The pilot holes should be 9/64” in diameter. 2-2. Your fan comes with two neoprene noise isolators (“Isolators”). Position the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by inserting the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the ceiling plate. Isolator Ceiling Plate Step 2-2 2-3.
3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan Steps 3-1 – 3-2 Downrod Canopy Set Screw You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 3-1 – 3-2) or for low profile mounting (steps 3-3 – 3-4). 3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a flat or angled ceiling, insert the downrod through the canopy. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod. 3-2. Loosen the square head set screw on the adapter to install the pipe and ball assembly.
4 • Securing Fan to Secondary Support System 4-1. Find the looped end of the braided cable and insert it through the ceiling plate and one of the holes in the outlet box into the ceiling. 4-2. Access the support brace in the ceiling. You may not be able to do this from below the ceiling depending on your installation site. 4-3. Drive a #10 x 38mm (1-1/2”) wood screw and washer into the side of the brace that holds the outlet box. Leave 3mm (1/8”) of space between the support brace and the washer. 4-4.
5 • Wiring the Fan Step 5-3 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. Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch in accordance with national and local electrical codes. 5-1. Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. 5-2. Decide how you want to set up the fan and light controls.
6 • Installing the Canopy 6-1. Rotate the hanger ball so the tab in the canopy is secure in the groove in the hanger ball. Step 6-1 WARNING: Failure to complete this step could cause fan to fall. Tab 6-2. Lift the fan and align the canopy screw holes with the mounting holes on the ceiling plate. 6-3. Partially install a canopy screw into the side opposite the ceiling plate tabs. 6-4. Partially install another canopy screw into the hole between the two ceiling plate tabs. Securely tighten both screws.
7 • Assembling the Blades Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the blade to the fan). Step 7-1 (Detail) 7-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets, insert them by hand into the holes on the blades. 7-2. 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. 7-3.
8 • Installing the Light Kit WARNING: Use only the light fixture supplied with this fan model. 8-1. To attach the upper switch housing, partially install two housing assembly screws into the switch housing mounting plate. 8-2. Feed the upper plug connector through the center opening of the housing. 8-3. Align the keyhole slots in the housing with the housing assembly screws. 8-4. Turn the housing counterclockwise until the housing assembly screws are firmly situated in the narrow end of the keyhole slots.

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. 9-3.
