INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUNTER ORIGINAL® CEILING FANS
Step 6: Lubrication
1. Your fan has been shipped without oil in the motor. A tube of high grade SAE 10 non-detergent oil is packed in the sack parts.
2. Unscrew the oil hole screw on the side of the switch housing. See Figure 9.
3. Cut the tip off the tube, tilt the fan motor as shown and place the tube into the oil hole of the switch housing. See Figure 10.
NOTE: It may be necessary to puncture the tube to allow air in.
4. Fill the oil until the oil just starts pouring out of the oil hole. This is the indication that the oil tank is now filled.
5. Reinstall the oil hole screw.
CAUTION! Do not turn the fan on until lubrication has been added. To operate the fan without oil or with low oil will void your warranty.
This 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. This unique lubrication system is one reason your Original Hunter Ceiling Fan will last a lifetime.
