Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories

Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice

®

Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum 
installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one 
of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low 
Profile, Standard, or Angled mounting. The 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.

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.
