Lubrication
Adding Oil
1. Your fan has been shipped without oil in the motor.
2. A 1-ounce tube of high grade SAE 10 non-detergent oil is packaged in the sack parts.
3. All of the oil in the tube must be put into the fan.
4. Cut the tip off the end of the tube and place the tube into the oil hole (see. Fig. 12).
NOTE: To avoid overfl owing during fi lling, allow oil to gravity fl ow about one minute to fi ll the oil
reservoir. (It may be necessary to puncture the tube to allow air in.)

Checking Oil
1. Check oil level immediately after fi lling the reservoir and every 1 to 5 years thereafter.
2. To check oil, bend an ordinary pipe cleaner into 1/2” long hook and dip it into the oil reservoir.
3. If the oil touches the end of the pipe cleaner, the fan has ample oil. If it does not touch, add SAE 10
non-detergent oil slowly until it touches the pipe cleaner. (see. Fig. 13).

Your Original Hunter’s Unique Lubricating System
Th e bearings are submerged in a bath of oil. Th e oil moves up a spiral groove in the shaft, lubricating
all bearing surfaces as the fan operates. Th e Lubrication System does not normally “use up” or require
the addition of extra oil once the oil reservoir has been fi lled to the correct level. Th is 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
your fan to another location, it is a good idea to check the oil reservoir. Hunter has developed an
accessory ‘Original Relocation Kit’ that includes all mounting hardware and a fresh tube of oil for this
reason. Th
e model number is 22360.
CAUTION
DO NOT TURN FAN ON UNTIL LUBRICATION HAS BEEN ADDED. TO OPERATE THE FAN
WITHOUT OIL OR WITH LOW OIL WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
