Your Hunter fan comes with an optional 8” downrod extension
pipe. If you are hanging the fan on a ceiling higher than 9 feet tall
and you would like to use the enclosed optional downrod, follow
Steps 3-1 – 3-9 on this page. If you do not wish to use the optional
downrod, skip ahead to Step 4-1 now.
WARNING:
Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these
installation instructions.
3-1. Unbundle the wires from the fan.
3-2. Remove the pipe ball screw from the standard pipe/ball
assembly, then slide the ball off the pipe.
3-3. Remove the pin from the pipe, then slide the wedge off the
pipe.
3-4. Remove the screw and ground wire from the pipe.
3-5. Reassemble the ground wire, wedge, pin, ball, and pipe ball
screw, in that order, onto the long pipe/ball assembly.
3-6. Insert the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim
ring. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod on
one side of the pin in the ball.
3-7. Loosen the square head setscrew on the adapter to install
the pipe and ball assembly.
Note:
When the pipe and ball
assembly is fully installed, 2-3 threads on the pipe will still be
visible; this is normal. Securely retighten the setscrew with a
wrench or pliers.
CAUTION:
The adapter has a special coating on the threads.
Do not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod
from unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the
downrod.
Note:
To hang the fan, you must tilt the canopy to an almost
vertical position so that the canopy slots sit on the ceiling plate
hooks.
3-8. Raise the fan and align the slots in the canopy with the hooks
on the ceiling plate.
3-9. Place the slots over the hooks to hang the fan.
Skip ahead to Step 5-1.
