Choosing the Right Installation Location
Checking the Ceiling Angle:
Angled Mounting
You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let’s check below to make sure it is a good t.
If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling:
1. You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
2. If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an
Angled Mounting Kit. (Sold separately at HunterFan.com)
Check the room dimensions: Check the outlet box:
You must be able to
secure the fan to building
structure or fan-rated
outlet box.

A little more information on Angled Mounting:
For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod should
be used with your Hunter ceiling fan when installing on high or angled
ceiling. If your ceiling is angled greater than 34°you will also need an
Angled Mounting Kit. Longer downrods and the Angled Mounting Kit are
sold separately at HunterFan.com.
Determining if you need an Angled Mounting Kit:
Fold on the dotted line. Place edge against the wall.
Slide towards the ceiling.
If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you
need an angled mounting kit.
