Operating Instructions
The Hunter 51060 fan is designed for simple operation using its integrated pull chain control.
Speed Control:
- Pull the chain once for High speed.
- Pull the chain a second time for Medium speed.
- Pull the chain a third time for Low speed.
- Pull the chain a fourth time to turn the fan OFF.
Reversible Airflow:
The fan features a reversible motor for optimal comfort throughout the year. A small switch located on the motor housing allows you to change the direction of the blades.
- Summer Mode (Downdraft): Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing cool air down. Ideal for warmer months.
- Winter Mode (Updraft): Blades rotate clockwise, pulling cool air up and circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling. Ideal for cooler months.
Always turn off the fan and allow the blades to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
