CAUTIONS
!
• NEVER REST THE FAN ON THE SWITCH HOUS-
ING. As you prepare the fan for installation, rest
the motor in the liner in which it was packed.
• Be sure to put full contents of the oil tube into
the fan according to the instructions.
• If this fan is used as a replacement for an Origi-
nal
®
Old-Tyme non-reversible fan, it must be in-
stalled per the instructions included with this
fan. Failure to do so could result in the fan fall-
ing. DO NOT HANG THIS FAN ON A SINGLE
“J” HOOK.
• To reduce the risk of noise and to ensure proper
fan operation, do not use a solid-state speed
control with this fan. Use Hunter speed con-

• Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the fan. A
mild detergent will clean and restore most units

Step 1: Pre-Installation
1. Select the 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 effi-
ciency, no obstructions (walls, posts, etc.) should be
within 24” of the tips of the blades. See Figure 1.
NOTE: Mounting should also meet the precautions listed
in Step 3.
Read this entire manual thoroughly before begin-
ning installation.

2. Fan mounting height: Your Hunter fan
comes with the proper hardware to hang the fan
from a standard 8 foot ceiling so that the fan blades
will be 12” from the ceiling and approximately 7
feet from the floor. See Figure 1.
NOTE: On vaulted ceilings, up to 45° pitch, you must
use the Hunter Vaulted Ceiling Mounting Kit.
