You will need the following tools for installing the fan:

Electric drill with 9/64" bit

For quiet and optimum performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
PREPARING THE FAN SITE
The location of a ceiling fan and how the fan is attached to the building structure are essential for reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings. For this reason, we have included a separate booklet - "Guide to Choosing and Preparing a Ceiling Fan Site" - to help you select the best location for your fan. The booklet also provides information to ensure your fan support and electric outlet box meet UL-approved safety codes for ceiling fans.
The instructions in this installation manual assume that you have used "Guide to Choosing and Preparing a Ceiling Fan Site" to pick the fan location and make certain the proper fan support and outlet box are installed.
CHECKING YOUR FAN PARTS
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Check for any shipping damage to the motor or fan blades. If one of the fan blades was damaged in shipment, return all the blades for replacement.
Hint: If you are installing more than one fan, keep the fan blades in sets, as they were shipped.
If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or call Hunter Parts Department at 901-248-2222.
INSTALLER'S CHOICE®
This patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum installation flexibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one of three ways. The steps in this manual include specific instructions for the fan mounting method of your choice. For a ceiling 8 feet or higher, standard mounting is recommended.
Flush Mounting (Figure 1a) fits close to the ceiling, for low ceilings less than 8 feet high.
Standard Mounting (Figure 1b) hangs from the ceiling by a connector pipe (included), for ceilings 8 feet or higher. For ceilings higher than eight feet, you can purchase Hunter extension rods. All Hunter fans use sturdy 3/4" diameter pipe to assure stability and wobble-free performance.
Angle Mounting (Figure 1c) hangs from a vaulted or angled ceiling.
