tion instructions.
The Inside Story
Oil is constantly pumped up the spiral groove to lubricate the
rotor and shaft. he oil is returned to the reservoir where the
bearings are submerged in a bath of oil.
his unique lubrication system is built into all Original Hunter
Ceiling Fans. hat’s one reason Hunters last so long. And why
we can offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The installation of your Hunter Ceiling Fan
NOTE TO INSTALLERS: Please leave this manual with the
owner.
Tools needed:
• Pliers • 11/64" bit
• Flat blade screwdriver • 3 wire connectors
• Phillips screwdriver • 4" x 11/2" standard octagon
• Electric drill electrical outlet box
• 3/8" Socket wrench
Step 1: Pre-installation
Select installation site: Normally this is near the center of
the room, often replacing a light fixture. Make certain that
ample clearance is left for the rotating fan blades. For maxi-
mum efficiency, no obstruction (walls, posts, etc.) should be
within 24" of the tips of the blades (see Fig. 1). Mounting
site should also meet the precautions listed in Step 3.
Fan mounting height: Your Hunter fan comes with the proper
hardware to hang the fan from a standard 8 foot ceiling so
the fan blades will be 12" from the ceiling and approximately
7 feet from the floor (see Fig. 1).
NOTE: On vaulted ceilings, up to 45° pitch, you may want to
use the Hunter Vaulted Ceiling Mounting Kit.
Step 2: Inspect fan
Unpack the fan carefully to avoid any damage to com-
ponents.
CAUTION: NEVER LIF HE MO OR BY HE WIRES.

• When inspecting or preparing installation site where wiring
is available, make sure electricity is “off” at fuse box or
circuit breaker panel.
• All wiring must meet local and national codes.
• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to an
electrical outlet box.
• he wood joist chosen for mounting the fan must be
sound and of sufficient size. In no case, should it be
smaller than standard 2" x 4" lumber.
Secure a metallic outlet box 4" x 11/2" or 4" x 1/2" deep to
2 x 4 cross brace between two ceiling joists as shown in
Figure 3. he outlet box must be recessed in the ceiling by
1/16" minimum. Secure the outlet box to the cross brace by
drilling (2) pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of
the woodscrews (5/64") and use two #8 x 11/2" woodscrews
and washers. Use the innermost holes for securing the box.
Orient the box so the outermost holes are aligned with the
2 x 4 brace. he outermost holes will be used in Step 3B.
CAUTION: Do not use a lubricant on screws.

Step 5: Wiring instructions and canopy
installation
CAUTION: BE CER AIN HA ELEC RICI Y IS URNED OFF
A HE MAIN PANEL BEFORE ANY WIRING IS DONE.
Before you do the final wiring, you should decide how you want
to control your fan—with pull cord, a wall switch or a speed con-
trol. At this point, you should also decide if you want to add a
light adaptor kit. Separate wiring instructions for Hunter
accessories are included in accessory packages.
Connect black electrical supply lead
to the black motor lead and the
black with white stripe motor lead
(See note). Connect the white elec-
trical supply lead to the white motor
lead. Connect ground wire to green
screw
on side of hanger bracket. See
Figure 8.
NOTE: If a separate wall switch will be used to control a
lighting accessory, connect the black wire with a white
stripe to the wall switch lead, following wiring instructions
included with the accessory. he wall switch must be a list-
ed general-use switch.
CAUTION: NO BARE WIRE OR WIRE S RANDS SHOULD
BE VISIBLE AF ER MAKING CONNEC IONS.
After making the wire connections, the wires should be
spread apart with the white and the green wires on one side
of the outlet box, and the black and black & white wires on
the other side of the box.
he splices should be turned upward and pushed carefully
up into the outlet box.
Canopy installation
Assemble canopy halves around pipe.
Screw together loosely using two
screws provided in parts bag. (Brass
and antique brass canopies are shipped
assembled.) Position canopy close to
ceiling. ighten both assembly screws
and SCREW IN the canopy set screw.
See Figure 9. NOTE: If a Vaulted Ceiling
Mounting Kit is used, follow the can-
opy instructions provided with the kit.
Step 6: Lubrication
Adding oil
Your fan has been shipped without
oil in the motor. A 1-ounce tube of
high grade SAE 10 non-detergent oil
is packaged in the sack parts. All the
oil in the tube must be put into the
fan. Cut the tip off the tube and place the tube into the oil hole.
To avoid overflowing during filling, allow oil to gravity flow
about one minute to fill the oil reservoir. (It may be necessary
to puncture the tube to allow air in.) See Figure 10.
All wiring must conform to national and local codes which
may vary by locale.

Checking Oil
Check oil level immediately after fill-
ing the reservoir. o check oil, bend
an ordinary pipe cleaner into a 1/2"
long hook and dip it into the oil reser-
voir. See Figure 11. If oil touches the
end of the pipe cleaner, the fan has
ample oil. If it does not touch, add
SAE 10 non-detergent oil slowly until
it touches the pipe cleaner.
Your Original Hunter’s unique lubricating system
he bearings are submerged in a bath of oil. he oil moves up a
spiral groove in the shaft, lubricating all bearing surfaces as the fan
operates. his Lubrication System does not normally “use up” or
require the addition of extra oil once the oil reservoir has been filled
to the correct level. his unique lubrication system is one reason your
Original Hunter Ceiling Fan will last a lifetime. It is highly unlikely that
you will ever need to add oil to your Original fan once it is installed.
Should you move your fan to another location, it is a good idea to
check the oil reservoir. Hunter has developed an accessory ‘Original
Relocation Kit’ that includes all mounting hardware and a fresh tube
of oil for this reason. he model number is 22360.
CAUTION: DO NO URN FAN ON UN IL LUBRICA ION HAS
BEEN ADDED. O OPERA E HE FAN WI HOU OIL OR WI H
LOW OIL WILL VOID YOUR WARRAN Y.
Step 7: Fan blade assembly, installation and balancing
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO
NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS WHEN INSTALLING THE
BRACKETS, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE
FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS IN BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
Attach wood blades to blade
brackets using three screws
for each blade. (See Figure
12.) If your blades have large
holes, you must first insert
the rubber grommets into
the holes. (See Figure 12A.)
Make sure all screws are
tight to prevent vibration or
wobbling. A cavity in the sty-
rofoam packaging has been
provided to nest the parts in
during assembly to assure
correct alignment of parts.
NOTE: Grommets are usual-
ly assembled by hand. If you
use a tool, make certain you
do not damage the grommet
or blade when inserting the
grommets.
With some fans you have an
option to install four or five
blades. For five blades,
mount to the outer row of
holes on the motor. For four
blades, use the inner row.
(See Figure 12C.)
o install the blades to the
motor, insert blade iron
screw through hole in the
blade iron. Use screwdriver
to hold in place. Fasten
screw onto motor, but do
not tighten. (See Figure 12B.)
Line up other hole on motor
and fasten the second
screw. Before tightening
screws, make sure they are
not cross-threaded in the
mounting holes. ighten
both screws securely.
Repeat for remaining blades.
CAUTION: DO NO A EMP O RUN FAN UN IL ALL
SCREWS HAVE BEEN IGH ENED SECURELY.
A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan.
Should the fan wobble in operation, you may use this kit
to correct the balance per the instructions supplied with
the kit.
Step 8: Operation of your Hunter Fan
he operation of your fan is controlled with a pull-chain
switch which has 4 positions: off—high—medium—low.
Pull the chain gently to obtain the speed you desire.
he Break-A-Way Connec-
tor is designed to separate
from the chain at a prede-
termined force. If this sep-
aration occurs, simply
reinsert connector. It can
be reused again and again.
(Figure 13.)
Reversing your fan is con-
trolled by a small switch
located on the switch
housing. (Figure 14.)
Ceiling fans are usually adjust-
ed once in the fall and again in
the spring to blow upward in the
winter and downward in the
summer. You may run them in
either direction at anytime, how-
ever, as you prefer. Experiment
as you like to obtain maximum
comfort from your fan.
Care and Maintenance
Once properly installed, your fan needs very little attention,
beyond checking the oil level. Oil is checked with a pipe cleaner
used as a dipstick. (See Step 6.)
ake care when cleaning your fan. Never use an abrasive
cleanser or brass polish. Use a damp cloth or sponge. Do not
drip water or soap into the motor.
Blades should be wiped clean periodically to prevent dust
buildup. Be careful not to bend the blade irons.
If blades are cracked, or blade irons bent, do not attempt to
repair them. Order replacement parts from your Hunter dealer.
Installation on pitched or beam ceilings
Choose the specific figure below showing the mounting appropri-
ate to your ceiling. Use the figure as a guide in conjunction with
the basic mounting instructions.
For mounting on a pitched ceiling, you should use a Hunter
Vaulted Ceiling Mounting Kit and hanger pipe, which are avail-
able from your Hunter dealer.
