NOTE: Assembly Methods For

Installer’s Choice Hanging System

Your new Hunter fan can be hung in (2) different manners. (1) as a

low profile fan or (2) as a ball type hanging fan. Please read Steps

5 through 7 and decide which style mounting to use.

Step 4: Installation of Ceiling Plate

Install the (3) rubber bushings into the top of the ceiling

plate by inserting small side of the rubber bushing into the three

holes in the ceiling plate. See Figure 4.

Thread the lead wires through the opening in the ceiling plate

and install the ceiling plate to the 2 x 4 brace which supports the

outlet box. Use (2) #10 wood screws 3” long and (2) flat washers

for mounting. Drill (2) pilot holes for the mounting screws 9/64”

diameter. See Figure 4A.

NOTE: When mounting the fan on a vaulted ceiling, make

sure that one set of elongated slots in the ceiling plate is aligned

vertically with the ceiling joist, or horizontally with the cross

brace if a cross brace is used. Be sure one of the threaded screw

holes in the side of the ceiling plate is facing down. See Figure

4B. The hook in the ceiling plate should be in the down position.

When attaching the canopy to the ceiling plate make sure the two

tabs in the center hole of the canopy align vertically so that the

tabs properly engage the two grooves in the hanger ball. When

properly installed, the round screw clearance hole in the canopy

should be facing down.
