As discussed in " Step1 - Getting Ready", your Hunter fan can be
installed in either the standard or angled mounting positions.
Included with the fan are two pipes: one 4 1/2" long pipe/ball
and one 2 1/2" long pipe. See Figure 3a.
If you are going to install the fan using the 2 1/2” long pipe, go to
"Step 4 - Assembling the Fan".

For the following steps refer to Figures 3b and 3c.
3-1. Locate the 2 1/2" pipe/ball assembly.
3-2. Remove the positioning screw from the top of the ball.
Note:
The ball will become loose and should slide down the pipe.
3-3. Remove the ball from the pipe.
3-4. Remove the pin from the pipe.
3-5. Carefully loosen and remove the ground screw/leadwire assembly
from the pipe.
3-6. Locate the 4 1/2" pipe.
3-7. Insert and tighten the ground screw/leadwire assembly into the
small screw hole on one end of the 4 1/2" pipe.
3-8. Insert the pin into the two holes in the 4 1/2" pipe so that the pin
is placed evenly in the hole.
3-9. Insert the threaded end of the pipe into the flat side of the ball.
