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).

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.  
Gathering the Tools  
You will need the following tools for installing the fan:  
• Electric drill with 9/64” bit  
• Standard screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)  
• Phillips-head screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)  
• Wrench or pliers  
• Ladder (height dependent upon installation site)  
Installing Multiple Fans?  
If you are installing more than  
one fan, keep the fan blades and  
blade irons (if applicable) in sets,  
as they were shipped.  
Checking Your Fan Parts  
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Refer to  
the included Parts Guide. Check for any shipping damage to the motor  
or fan blades. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter  
dealer or call Hunter Technical Support Department at 888-830-1326.  
Preparing the Fan Site  
Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in  
the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan  
location and attachment to the building structure are essential for

8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan  
8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.  
8-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e 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.  
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the  
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into  
the connector.  
8-3. e light pull chain controls the power to the light fixture. e  
chain has two settings: ON and OFF.  
In warm weather, use  
downward air flow pattern  
8-4. 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.  
8-5. 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.  
8-6. 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. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the  
opposite position. Restart fan.

9 • 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. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit  
and instructions to balance the fan.  
2. Tighten all blade iron screws.  
3. Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that the  
hanger ball is properly seated.  
Problem: Lights dim when turned on or do not turn on  
1. Check to make sure the wattage and type of light bulbs installed  
match the specifications on the light socket.
