circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit
breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service
panel.

Pre-Installation
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 maximum efficiency, no obstruction
(walls, posts, etc.) should be within 30” of the tips of the blades (see Fig. 1).
Your Hunter fan comes with the proper hardware to hang the fan from a 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 Angled Ceiling Mounting
Kit, which can be purchased via our website or by calling 1-888-830-1326.

CAUTION
NEVER LIFT THE MOTOR BY THE WIRES.
LET MOTOR REST IN THE CARTON LINER FOR PROTECTION.

ceiling to the white wire (grounded) from the
fan.
5.Connect the remaining wires as follows for
either Dual or Single Switch Wiring:
For Dual Switch Wiring (see Fig. 8):
• e black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling
to the black wire (ungrounded) from the fan.
• e blue wire (ungrounded) from the fan to
the wire (ungrounded) from the wall switch.
For Single Switch Wiring (see Fig. 9):
• The black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling

Lubrication
Adding Oil
Note: Your fan has been shipped without oil in the motor. A tube of high grade SAE 10 non-detergent
oil is packaged in the hardware bag.
1. Remove cap if present.
2. Cut the tip off the end of the tube (see Fig. 11).
3. Place the tube into the oil hole and gently squeeze the tube to empty the oil into the fan's
reservoir (see Fig. 12).
NOTE: To avoid overflowing during filling, add a third of the oil from the tube at a time. Pause for 30
seconds between each third to allow the oil to settle in the fan. Be sure to add all of the oil in the
tube to the fan.

Fig. 11
Your Original Hunter’s Unique Lubricating System
e bearings in your Hunter Original Ceiling Fan are submerged in oil, which lubricates all bearing
surfaces as the fan operates. We recommend periodically checking the oil to ensure the correct level
is maintained. is unique lubrication system is one reason why your Hunter Original Ceiling Fan will
last a lifetime.
CAUTION
DO NOT TURN FAN ON UNTIL LUBRICATION HAS BEEN ADDED. TO OPERATE THE FAN
WITHOUT OIL OR WITH LOW OIL WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

CAUTION
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.
! !
Fan Blade Assembly
1. Insert blade grommets, found in the hardware bag, by hand into the holes on the blades (see Fig. 13).
2. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly
screws, found in the hardware bag (see Fig. 14).
3. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw, found in the hardware bag, through the blade iron,
and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade mounting screw, then securely tighten both
mounting screws (See Fig. 14) using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
NOTE: With the Hunter Original, you have an option to install either 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 Fig. 15).

Checking Oil
1. Check oil level immediately after filling the reservoir and every 1 to 5 years thereafter.
2. To check oil, bend an ordinary pipe cleaner into 1/2” long hook and dip it into the oil reservoir
(see. Fig. 17).
3. If the 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 (see. Fig. 18).

Operation And Care
1. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has four settings in sequence: High,
Medium, Low, and Off.
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the blades.
2. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent scratching. A vacuum cleaner
brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust
using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use an artistic agent, but never
abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.
3. Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally, apply a light coat of
furniture polish for added protection and beauty.
To Reverse The Flow Of Air.
1. Move the directional lever down for down draft (see Fig. 16).
2. Move the directional lever up for up draft (see Fig. 16).

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move.
1. Check all fuses and circuit breakers. Make sure power is turned on for your fan.
2. Check all connections according to the wiring the fan section.
3. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.
4. Check to make sure the reverse switch is firmly in the up or down position.
Note: If the blades will not turn by hand, contact your nearest service representative or dealer.
Problem: Noisy operation.
1. Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron screws until they are snug.
2. Check to see if any of the blades are cracked. If so, replace all the blades.
3. Lower the canopy so it does not make contact with the ceiling.
4. Check the oil level and add oil if required (see page 13 for details).
Problem: Excessive wobbling.
1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit and instructions to balance the
fan.
2. Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron screws until they are snug.
3. Ensure the fan is secured properly to the hanger assembly.
Problem: Fan only operates at slow speeds.
