Care and Maintenance

!CAUTION!

Before performing any maintenance on the fan, disconnect the power to the fan.

Lubrication

Once properly installed, your fan needs little attention, beyond checking the oil level. The oil is checked by unscrewing and removing the oil hole screw. If oil comes out of the hole, the oil level is within proper levels.

If no oil comes out, complete the following steps:

Reinstall the oil hole screw.

Remove one blade iron/blade assembly from the motor housing by uninstalling the two blade armature screws.

Rotate the motor so that the open area where the blade iron/blade assembly you just removed is directly above the oil hole screw. This is done so that there is enough room to properly position the tube of oil when refilling.

Complete the steps in STEP 6: LUBRICA- TION to properly complete adding oil into the motor.

Cleaning

Take care when cleaning your fan. Never use an abrasive cleanser or brass polish. Use a damp cloth or sponge. Do not drip water or soap into the motor.

Blades should be wiped clean periodically to prevent dust buildup. Be careful not to bend the blade irons.

If blades are cracked or blade irons bent, do not attempt to repair them. Order replacement parts from your Hunter dealer.

Installation on Pitched Ceilings

Your Hunter Fan can be mounted onto a pitched ceiling (up to 34 degrees) using the same method as mounting on a flat ceiling, except that the hanger bracket and bushing must be aligned so they are pointing up the sloped of the ceiling. You will also need an extension pipe, which is available from your Hunter dealer.

Installation in Concrete Ceilings

!CAUTION!

Your Hunter ceiling fan weighs up to 50 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety, and to ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.

Refer to Figure 18 for the steps below.

For concrete mounting, the drilled hole must be recommended by the manufacturer of the anchor and it must be drilled at least 1/2” deeper than the length of the anchor.

NOTE: The drilled hole is usually marked on the anchor.

The holes must be made with a suitable carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.

The anchors must be new and unused.

The concrete ceiling must be sound and free of cracks or voids in the vicinity of the mounting holes.

The anchors must be set in flush with the surface of the concrete.

The bracket screws must never be backed out. If the bracket screws can be turned easily (by hand), do not hang the fan.

Installation

1.Drill holes 2” deep in concrete ceiling to receive 1/4” x 1-1/2” expansion shield anchor, “Rawl No. 1055” or equal. (Not furnished.)
