To reduce the risk of personal injury, attach the fan

To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing
your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the cir-

ers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent

understanding Installer’s Choice
®
This patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in
one of three ways. The steps in this manual include specific instruc-
tions for the fan mounting method of your choice. For a ceiling 8
feet or higher, standard mounting is recommended.
Flush Mounting
(Figure 1) fits close to the ceiling, for low ceilings
less than 8 feet high.
Figure 1 - Flush mounting
Standard Mounting
(Figure 2) hangs from the ceiling by a downrod
(included), for ceilings 8 feet or higher. 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.
