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.
