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 Vaulted Ceiling Mounting  
Kit, which can be purchased via our website or by calling 1-888-830-1326.

Lubrication  
!
!
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.  
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.

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.

Fan Blade Assembly  
!
!
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).

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).

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).

Energy Star  
Hunter fans have the power to cut your cooling costs up to 40%.  
Beat the High Cost of Cooling  
e air movement created by a Hunter ceiling fan lets you set your  
thermostat higher and still stay comfortable. Every degree you raise the  
thermostat saves up to 7% on energy costs. So, you can cut back on  
expensive air conditioning...and save up to 40%* on cooling. In winter, your  
Hunter fan recirculates warm air and saves up to 10%* on heating bills.  
*On average at low speed settings. Your savings may vary based on climate,  
building type and thermostat setting.  
Save Energy and Money While Protecting the Environment

2010, ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fans are projected to cut air pollution  
by more than 500 million pounds!  
Your new ceiling fan has earned the ENERGY STAR label because it meets  
high energy efficiency specifications set by the Environmental Protection  
Agency (EPA). ENERGY STAR labeled ceiling fans save energy because they
