INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER ORIGINAL® CEILING FANS

IMPORTANT! READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Read this entire manual thoroughly before beginning installation.

WARNINGS!

  • To avoid possible electrical shock, before wiring fan, disconnect power by turning off the circuit breakers both to the outlet box and to its 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.
  • All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a qualified electrician.
  • To reduce the risk of personal injury, install the fan to the building structure according to these instructions and use only the hardware supplied.

CAUTIONS!

  • NEVER REST THE FAN ON THE SWITCH HOUSING. 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 Original® Old-Tyme non-reversible fan, it must be installed per the instructions included with this fan. Failure to do so could result in the fan falling. 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 controls for Hunter Original® ceiling fans only.
  • Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the fan. A mild detergent will clean and restore most units to their original beauty.
