Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories

Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®

Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum installation  exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low Pro le, Standard, or Angle mounting.  e steps in this manual include instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.

Considering Optional Accessories

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted 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.

Low Pro le Mounting  ts close to the ceiling, recommended for ceilings less than 8 feet high

For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use sturdy 3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability and wobble-free performance.

Standard Mounting hangs from the ceiling by a downrod (included), recommended for ceilings 8 feet or higher

Angle Mounting recommended for a vaulted or angled ceiling
