3 • Assembling the Fan for Ceilings 9 Feet or Higher Your Hunter fan comes with an optional 8" downrod extension pipe. If you are hanging the fan on a ceiling higher than 9 feet tall and you would like to use the enclosed optional downrod, follow Steps 3-1 - 3-9 on this page. If you do not wish to use the optional downrod, skip ahead to Step 4-1 now. Step 3-2 Step 3-3 WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these installation instructions. 3-1. Unbundle the wires from the fan. 3-2. Remove the pipe ball screw from the standard pipe/ball assembly, then slide the ball off the pipe. 3-3. Remove the pin from the pipe, then slide the wedge off the pipe. 3-4. Remove the screw and ground wire from the pipe. 3-5. Reassemble the ground wire, wedge, pin, ball, and pipe ball screw, in that order, onto the long pipe/ball assembly. 3-6. Insert the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod on one side of the pin in the ball. 3-7. Loosen the square head setscrew on the adapter to install the pipe and ball assembly. Note: When the pipe and ball assembly is fully installed, 2-3 threads on the pipe will still be visible; this is normal. Securely retighten the setscrew with a wrench or pliers. Step 3-4 CAUTION: The adapter has a special coating on the threads. Do not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod from unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.
