See Figure 4. RUBBER BUSHING CEILING PLATE Figure 4. Rubber Bushings B. 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 mounting screws 9/64" diameter. See Figure 4A. NOTE: Assembly Methods for Installer's Choice Hanging System Your new Hunter fan can be hung in (2) different manners, one being as a low profile fan and also as a ball type hanging fan. Read Steps 5-1 and 5-2 to decide which style of mounting to use. Step 5-1: Fan Assembly, Low Profile Version A. First, place the canopy trim casting on top of fan as shown in Figure 5. Note that the trim casting will be attached to the top of the canopy after the fan is hung. Next, place the canopy on top of the fan so the hole in the bottom of the canopy fits over the adaptor on the top of the fan. See Figures 5 and 5A. Place the canopy assembly washer inside the canopy with the vertical flange of the washer resting on the inside of the canopy. See Figure 5A.

Installing Ceiling Plate 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.
