Assembling and Hanging the Fan | Hunter Fan 42686-01 instruction

3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan

You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 3-1 – 3-2) or for low profile mounting (steps 3-3 – 3-4).

3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a flat or angled ceiling, insert the downrod through the canopy. Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod.

3-2. Loosen the 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. Skip to Step 3-5.

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.

3-3. Place the low profile washer into the canopy. Be sure the green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.

Note: For low profile mounting, the downrod is replaced with the low profile washer. See Steps 3-3 – 3-4.

3-4. Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter. Assemble securely with three #8-32 x 1” screws.

3-5. Raise the fan and align the slots in the canopy with the tabs on the ceiling plate. Go to 4 • Wiring the Fan.

WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these installation instructions.
