Operating Instructions
The Hunter Ocala fan is operated using two distinct pull chains located on the fan's light kit. One chain controls the fan speeds, and the other controls the light.
Fan Speed Control:
- First Pull: Activates the fan at High speed.
- Second Pull: Changes the fan speed to Medium.
- Third Pull: Changes the fan speed to Low.
- Fourth Pull: Turns the fan Off.
Light Control:
The second pull chain operates the integrated LED light kit. Pull the chain once to turn the light On, and pull it again to turn the light Off. The LED lights are dimmable, allowing for adjustment of brightness and ambiance.
Reversible Blade Function:
The fan features a reversible motor to optimize air circulation for different seasons. A switch located on the motor housing (often inside the light globe) allows you to change the blade direction:
- Downdraft (Summer): Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing cool air down.
- Updraft (Winter): Blades rotate clockwise, drawing cool air up and circulating warm air.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hunter Ocala ceiling fan. Keep the fan blades and motor housing clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are secure. The LED bulbs are designed for long life and typically do not require frequent replacement.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hunter Ocala ceiling fan, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Fan Shakes or Wobbles:
- Ensure all blade screws are tightened securely.
- Verify that the mounting bracket is firmly attached to the ceiling joist.
- Check for any bent or warped blades.
- Use the included balancing kit if necessary, though often not required due to quality materials.
- Insufficient Airflow:
- Confirm the fan is operating at the highest speed setting.
- Ensure the fan is set to the correct direction for the season (downdraft for cooling).
- Consider the room size relative to the fan's capacity. While this 52-inch fan is suitable for large rooms (up to 10x20 ft), very large or open-concept spaces might require additional air circulation.
- Difficulty Changing Seasons (Reversible Switch):
- The reversible switch is located on the motor housing, often inside the light globe. You may need to remove the light cover to access it.
- Ensure the fan is completely stopped before attempting to change the direction.
- No Remote Control:
- This model primarily uses pull chain controls. A remote control unit is not included and must be purchased separately if desired.
