If you have a at ceiling:
Hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans come
with a shorter downrod for a Low Prole 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 edge against the wall.
Slide towards the ceiling.
If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you
need an angled mounting kit.
WALL
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)
