Follow below if you are using the downrod that came pre-assembled in your box. Need to
install a longer or shorter downrod? Check out the guide at the end of this manual.
Slide the adapter cover onto
the downrod until it rests
against the hanger ball.
Pass all wires to one side of horizontal bar in
downrod assembly. Hand tighten the downrod
(at least 4–5 full turns) until it stops. Trim the
wires coming from the fan so that 8-inches
remain coming from the top of the downrod.
Hunter Pro Tip:
The ground wire attached to the
downrod is approximately 8 inches.
Hunter Pro Tip:
The adapter cover is not used for
low-pro le mounting.
Installing the Downrod
Tighten the setscrew
with pliers. DO NOT
HAND TIGHTEN.

Hunter Pro Tip:
Here is how to connect the wires:
Push the bare metal ends of the wires together and slide a wire
nut over them. Then, twist the wire nut clockwise until tight.
Give it a gentle pull to make sure none of the wires are loose.
Wiring the Fan
Connect the white
(grounded) wire
from the ceiling
to the white wire
from the fan.
Connect the second ungrounded
(light) wire from the ceiling to
the blue wire from the fan.
