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
Checking the Ceiling Angle
Standard Mounting
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
- You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
- 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.
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 Ceiling Bracket
- You have two options for installation.
- Pick which one works best for your location.
- Remove any existing bracket prior to installation.
- Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan’s box.
Hunter Pro Tip
- The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.
