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 electri-
cian.
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 general-
use switch.
Step 6: Lubrication
1. Your fan has been shipped without oil in the
motor. A tube of high grade SAE 10 non-de-
tergent 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”
