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.

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

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:
1. You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
2. 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.

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.

Installing the Downrod

Follow below if you are using the downrod that came pre-assembled in your box. Need to install a longer or shorter downrod? Check out the guide at the end of this manual.
