4 • Assembling the Fan for Ceilings 8-9 Feet High Your Hunter fan comes with an optional 8" downrod extension pipe. The optional extension pipe can only be used with ceilings 9' tall or higher. If you want to use the optional extention pipe, follow Steps 3-1 - 3-9 on the previous page. If you do not wish to use the optional downrod, follow Steps 4-1 - 4-3 on this page. WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these installation instructions. 4-1. Unbundle the wires from the fan. 4-2. 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. 4-3. 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. 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. Note: To hang the fan, you must tilt the canopy to an almost vertical position so that the canopy slots sit on the ceiling plate hooks. 4-4. Raise the fan and align the slots in the canopy with the hooks on the ceiling plate. 4-5. Place the slots over the hooks to hang the fan.
