INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER ORIGINAL® CEILING FANS
Installation on Pitched Ceilings
Your Hunter Fan can be mounted onto a pitched ceiling (up to 34 degrees) using the same method as mounting on a flat ceiling, except that the hanger bracket and bushing must be aligned so they are pointing up the sloped of the ceiling. You will also need an extension pipe, which is available from your Hunter dealer.
CAUTION! Your Hunter ceiling fan weighs up to 50 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety, and to ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.
Installation in Concrete Ceilings
Refer to Figure 18 for the steps below.
-
For concrete mounting, the drilled hole must be recommended by the manufacturer of the anchor and it must be drilled at least 1/2" deeper than the length of the anchor.
NOTE: The drilled hole is usually marked on the anchor.
- The holes must be made with a suitable carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.
-
The anchors must be new and unused.
-
The concrete ceiling must be sound and free of cracks or voids in the vicinity of the mounting holes.
-
The anchors must be set in flush with the surface of the concrete.
-
The bracket screws must never be backed out. If the bracket screws can be turned easily (by hand), do not hang the fan.
