If you have a at ceiling:

Hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans come
with a shorter downrod for a Low Prole installation.

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.

CEILING

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

light and fan pull chains.

Repeat x2

Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise
rotation). To change the direction of air ow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop.
Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.

The fan pull chain controls
the speed: from high to off.

The light pull chain controls
the light xture: on and off.

Updraft (clockwise rotation)
creates a more indirect airow.
Updraft airow is great for
moving warm air downward.

Downdraft (counterclockwise
rotation) creates a direct breeze
and maximum cooling effect.
