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)

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 
safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.

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.
