Company could void your authority to operate this equip-
ment!
Operation Is Subject To The Following Two Conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, in-
cluding interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: Any changes or modifications to the transmitter or
receiver not expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company
may void one’s authority to operate this remote control.
Your fan is equipped to be operated by remote control. A receiver
device is mounted inside the fan switch housing. A hand-held trans-
mitter is packed in the fan box. The transmitter requires a 12-volt
battery (included). The operating range is 15-30 feet.
Blade Iron
Medallion
setting the code
When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire
to have each of them set to a different code, so that the operation
of one fan will not affect another. This is accomplished by changing
the position of any one or more of a group of 3 jumpers grouped
together in the transmitter. The receiver located in the switch hous-
ing has the same set of 3 jumpers which must also be changed to
match the transmitter settings.
These jumpers are very small and can best be operated by using a
small pair of pliers or tweezers.
In the transmitter, the jumpers are readily accessible from the bat-
tery compartment. The switches in the receiver are located at the
bottom of the receiver device in the switch housing. See Figures 26
and 27.
Figure 24 - Attaching the blade to the blade iron and
medallion
If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose
after screws are tightened. This is normal.
3. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping
bumpers from the motor.
4. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the
blade iron as shown in Figure 25, and attach lightly to the fan.
Insert the second blade mounting screw, then securely tighten
both mounting screws.
To set the jumpers in the receiver, remove the receiver from the
switch housing and set the jumpers in the same positions as the
jumpers in the transmitter. See Figure 27.
Replace the receiver, making sure the mounting holes at the top of
the switch housing line up with the matching slots in the top of the
receiver.

operating your ceiling fan
mounting the remote holder
1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
A holder is supplied with the transmitter which can be mounted to
a existing toggle switch wall plate. The holder will help prevent mis-
placement of your transmitter by providing a permanent recep-
tacle. See Figure 33.
If desired, the holder can be mounted to a convenient location on
a wall.
2. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclock-
wise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a
direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clock-
wise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at
the ceiling around the room without causing a draft. Refer to
Figure 31.
Figure 31 - Air flow patterns
Figure 33 - Remote holder assembly
operating the remote control
The hand-held transmitter has individual buttons for control of the
light, for controlling the fan speeds, for turning the fan off, and for
reversing. See Figure 32.
The fan may be started by pressing the HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW
speed buttons. For best operation, allow the fan to start on HIGH,
then select the desired speed. Press the fan OFF button to turn the
ceiling fan off. Press the REVERSE button to change the fan’s direc-
tion while the fan is running.
NOTE: Replace 12-volt battery with type 23 A, MN-21 or equiva-
lent.

cleaning your ceiling fan
troubleshooting
Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move.
1. Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker.
caring for finishes
For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre-
vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re-
move 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.
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 up or down to ensure
that the switch is engaged.

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.
4. Be sure that the glass is secure.
5. Check and tighten the screws in the switch housing
mounting plate and in the upper and lower switch hous-
ing.
Problem: Excessive wobbling.
1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed bal-
ancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.
2. Tighten all blade and/or blade iron screws.
3. Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that
the hanger ball is properly seated.
Problem: No functions operate.
1. Replace fuse. Turn ON circuit breaker. Turn ON wall
switch.
2. Set transmitter and receiver to same jumper switch set-
ting.
3. Replace with new, alkaline battery.
Problem: Operates only at close range.
1. Replace with new, alkaline battery.
Problem: Inconsistent operation.
1. Turn OFF wall switch for 5 seconds, then turn back ON.
2. Change jumper switch settings to a different code in both
transmitter and receiver.
