Fan Owner Warranty & Operations Manual
Cleaning Stainless Steel Fans: - It is a common misconception that if a product is made of stainless
steel then it will be maintenance free. Corrosion of stainless steel does occur and will vary depending
on the conditions the product is subjected to. Tea stains and surface rust can be minimised through
regular cleaning of your stainless steel products.
To ensure your fan stays in good condition Hunter Pacific recommends cleaning stainless steel fans
every 3 to 4 months, especially ones that are installed in outdoors, near pools or coastal locations.
Use the same cleaning procedure as other fans. Exposure to chlorides (salts) will cause stainless
steel to rust and is easily prevented by proper maintenance.
Since a ceiling fan CANNOT be washed by rain water or hosed down chloride contamination will build
up quickly without adequate maintenance. The location will dictate how often it needs to be cleaned.
Stainless steel fans exposed to salt air (even at great distances from the coast
must have the
blades removed and the blade screws checked for rust or damage at least twice per year.
NEVER USE POWER TOOLS TO TIGHTEN BLADE SCREWS.
Normal Wear and Tear: - Fan blades travel an enormous distance every year. Wear and tear of the
blades will occur and environments that promote condensation will cause the fan blade finish to wear
faster. Replacement blades are inexpensive and blades should be replaced if excessive wear,
corrosion or damage appears.

Basic Trouble Shooting Tips
CAUTION: Please make sure the fan isolation switch is off when performing any of the following:
Cannot start fan:
• Check reversing switch is pushed fully up or down, or fully left or right.
• If the fan is on a remote, check the isolation switch is turned on.
• If the fan is on a remote, check dip switch settings on remote hand piece match the dip switch
settings you wrote down in this booklet.
• If pull cord fan, check the pull cord chain is set on high speed (turn on the isolation switch and
then pull the cord until fan runs at high speed). Set wall control to high speed if fitted.
Fan sounds noisy:
• Fans that have just been installed may make minor mechanical noises and should be given at
least 8 hours settle in period.
• If light kit is present, check if the light secured firmly and ensure the glass of the light fitting and
the fitting itself is not vibrating. Re-tighten all screws for the light kit and check glass.
• Re-tighten screws on all blades firmly, do not over tighten them.
• If the fan is on a wall controller, make sure you are controlling your fan with the HPI wall controller
supplied (dimmer type controls will make the fan noisy).
Fan is wobbling:
• If fan is wobbling a lot, check your ball joint slot is locked into the hanger bracket groove. Switch
fan off completely, hold the down rod or motor housing then grasp and rotate the rod or the motor
housing until you can feel the ball joint slot into place.
• Re-tighten all screws on blades firmly but do not over tighten.
• Check and ensure all your blades match. Hunter Pacific blades are marked with a set of letters
and numbers. The blade weights must be within 3 grams of each other. When manufactured the
blades are balanced and weighed as a set. Thus should only one blade be damaged the whole
set should be replaced to avoid unbalancing the fan.
