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
Angled Mounting Kit. (Sold separately at HunterFan.com)

check that the hanger ball is properly seated.

• Use the provided balancing kit and instructions to
balance the fan.

• Make sure the battery is installed correctly.

• Install a fresh battery.

• Make sure the blades are properly installed.

• Check to see if any of the blades are cracked. If so,
replace all of the blades.

• If you have multiple remotes or multiple remote­controlled fans installed on the same circuit breaker
and you are experiencing interference or faulty
operation of your remote controls, please go to
www.HunterFan.com/FAQs and click “How do I
properly install multiple remote-controlled fans?” for
