Installation Instructions for
Hunter Original Ceiling Fans
IMPOR T ANT! 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 only 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 nonreversible fan, it
must be installed per the instructions included with this fan. DO NOT HANG THIS
FAN ON A SINGLE “J” HOOK. Failure to
do so could result in the fan falling.
• To reduce the risk of noise and to ensure
proper fan operation, do not use a solidstate speed control with this fan. Use
Hunter speed controls for Hunter Originals only.
Installing Your Hunter
Ceiling Fan
Note To Installers: Please leave this manual
with the home owner.
Tools needed:
• Pliers • 3/8" Socket Wrench
• 11/64" drill bit • Flat blade screwdriver
• Electric drill • Phillips screwdriver
• 4" x 1-1/2" standard octagon electrical box
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
efficiency, 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.

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

Step 3: Installation of Ceiling
Mounting Hardware
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
• When inspecting or preparing the installation
site where wiring is available, to avoid possible
electrical shock, 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.
• Do not mount directly to an unsupported ceiling or to an electrical outlet box.
• The wood joist chosen for mounting the fan must
be sound and of sufficient size. In no case, should
it be smaller than standard 2"x4" lumber.
1. Secure a metallic outlet box 4" x 1-1/2" or 4"
x 1/2" deep to a 2" x 4" cross brace between
two ceiling joists as shown in Figure 3. The outlet box must be recessed in the ceiling by 1/
16" minimum. Secure the outlet box to the
cross brace by drilling two (2) pilot holes no
larger than the minor diameter of the wood
screws (5/64") and use two #8 x 1-1/2" wood
screws and washers. Use the innermost holes
for securing the box. Orient the box so the
outermost holes are aligned with the 2" x 4"
brace. The outermost holes will be use in Step
3 sub-step 2.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A LUBRICANT ON THE
SCREWS.

Step 4: Hanging the Fan
CAUTION: BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PIPE NIPPLE
INTO THE FAN, THE HANGER BRACKET ONTO
THE PIPE, AND TIGHTEN THE TWO SET SCREWS
AS DESCRIBED IN SUB-STEP 2 TO PREVENT THE
FAN FROM FALLING.
CAUTION: YOUR FAN MAY WEIGH UP TO 50
LBS. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE
FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO ENSURE A SECURE
MOUNTING. PERFORM SUB-STEPS 1 - 4 WITH
THE MOTOR RESTING IN THE PACKAGING LINER
FOR PROTECTION.
• 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. See figure 7.
• The bracket screws must never be backed out.
If the bracket screws can be turned easily (by
hand), do not hang the fan.
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.)
2. Install shield in holes, observing all cautions
above.
3. Proceed with the installation of the fan per the
basic installation instructions.

1. Take the hanger bracket from the sack parts and
locate the pipe nipple. Feed the wires from the
top of your motor through the pipe.
2. Back out the set screw in the neck of the motor
housing and the hanger bracket so the pipe
can be screwed in. Screw the pipe into the fan
until tight (At least 4-1/2 turns). Feed the wire
through the hanger bracket and screw the
hanger bracket onto the pipe until tight (At least
3 turns). Then use pliers to tighten both the
hanger bracket and the pipe together. Tighten
the set screw in the motor housing with pliers.
Securely tighten the set screw in the hanger
bracket. See Figure 8.
3. Be sure the pin is centered in the rubber
bushing. See Figures 9 and 10.
4. Lift the fan by the motor housing and hook the
hanger bracket onto the pin in the rubber bushing. Make sure both ends of the pin are outside the hanger bracket. See Figure 10.

Step 5: Wiring Instructions and
Canopy Installation
CAUTION: BE CERTAIN THAT ELECTRICITY IS
TURNED OFF AT THE MAIN PANEL BEFORE ANY
WIRING IS DONE.
NOTE: Before you do the final wiring, you should
decide how you want to control your fan - with a
pull cord, a wall switch or a speed control. At this
point, you should also decide if you want to add
a light adapter kit. Separate wiring instructions
for Hunter accessories are included in the
accessory packages.
• All wiring must be in accordance with national
and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar
with wiring, you should use a qualified electrician.
1. Connect the black electrical supply lead to the
black motor lead and the black with white stripe
motor lead. (See Note below.)
2. Connect the white electrical supply lead to the
white motor lead.
3. Connect the ground wire to the green screw on
the side of the hanger bracket. See Figure 11.
NOTE: If a separate wall switch will be used to
control a lighting accessory, connect the black
wire with the white stripe to the wall switch lead,
following the wiring instructions included with the
accessory. The wall switch must be a listed generaluse switch.
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 12.
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 13.
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.
CAUTION: NO BARE WIRE OR WIRE STRANDS
SHOULD BE VISIBLE AFTER MAKING
CONNECTIONS.
4. After making the wire connections, the wires
should be spread apart with the white and
green wires on one side of the outlet box, and
the black and black with white stripe wires on
the other side of the box.
5. The splices should be turned upward and
pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
Your Original Hunter’s Unique
Lubricating System
The bearings are submerged in a bath of oil. The
oil moves up a spiral groove in the shaft,
lubricating all bearing surfaces as the fan operates.
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. It
is highly unlikely that you will ever need to add
oil to you Original fan once it is installed. Should
you move you fan to another location, it is a good
idea to check the oil reservoir. Hunter has
developed an accessory “Original Relocation Kit”
Figure 11
Oil Hole Screw
Figure 12
Figure 13
Page 6
41569-01 5/24/2002 6 © 2002 HUNTER FAN CO.
that includes all mounting hardware and a fresh tube
of oil for this reason. The model number is 22360.
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.
Canopy Installation
1. Assemble the canopy halves around the pipe.
Screw together loosely using the two canopy
screws provided in the sack parts.
NOTE: Brass and Antique Brass canopies are
shipped together.
2. Position the canopy close to the ceiling.
3. Tighten both of the assembly screws and
SCREW IN the canopy set screw. See Figure 14.
NOTE: If a Vaulted Ceiling Mounting Kit is used,
follow the canopy instructions provided with
the kit.
packaging has been provided to nest the parts
in during assembly to assure correct alignment
of parts.
NOTE: Grommets are usually assembled by
hand. If you use a tool, make certain you do
not damage the grommet or blade when inserting the grommets.
4. With some fans you have an option to install
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 Figure 17.
5. To install the blades to the motor, insert the
blade iron screw through the hole in the blade
iron. Use a screwdriver to hold in place.
6. Fasten the screw onto the motor, but do not
overtighten. See Figure 18.
7. Line up the other hole on the motor and fasten
the second screw.

Step 7: Fan Blade Assembly and
Installation
WARNING: 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.
1. Attach the wood blades to the blade brackets
using three screws for each blade. See Figure 15.
Figure 15
2. If your blades have large holes, you must first
insert the rubber grommets into the holes. See
Figure 16.
3. Make sure that all screws are tight to prevent
vibration or wobbling. A cavity in the styrofoam

NOTE: Before tightening the screws, make sure
they are not cross-threaded in the mounting holes.
8. Tighten both screws securely. Repeat for the
remaining blades.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN THE FAN
UNTIL ALL SCREWS HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED
SECURELY.
9. A blade balancing kit has been provided with
your fan. Should the fan wobble in operation,
Page 7

you may use this kit to correct the balance per
the instructions supplied with the kit.
Step 8: Operation of Your
Hunter Fan
1. The operation of your fan is controlled with a
pull-chain switch, which has four (4) positions:
Off — High — Medium — Low. Pull the chain
gently to obtain the speed you desire.
2. The Break-A-Way Connector is designed to
separate from the chain at a predetermined
force. If this separation occurs, simply reinsert
the connector. It can be used again and again.
See Figure 19.
3. Reversing your fan is controlled by a small
switch located on the switch housing. See Figure 20.
NOTE: Ceiling fans are usually adjusted once in
the fall and again in the spring to blow upward in
the winter and downward in the summer. You may
run them in either direction at anytime, however,
as you prefer. Experiment as you like to obtain
maximum comfort from your fan.
Figure 19
Figure 20
Reversing Switch
Care and Maintenance
Once properly installed, your fan needs little
attention, beyond checking the oil level. Oil is
checked with a pip cleaner used as a dipstick. See
Step 6. 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.
The Inside Story
Oil is constantly pumped up the spiral groove to
lubricate the rotor and the shaft. The oil is returned
to the reservoir where the bearings are submerged
in a bath of oil. This unique lubrication system is built
into all Original Hunter Ceiling Fans. That’s one reason
Hunters last so long. And why we can offer a Limited
Lifetime Warranty.
We appreciate the opportunity to supply you with
the best ceiling fan available anywhere in the
world.
Record the following information for your records
and warranty assistance. Please refer to the carton
