Operating Instructions
Using the Wall Control:
The included wall control allows you to easily adjust the fan's speed. Rotate the dial to increase or decrease the fan's rotation speed. If your fan model includes a light kit (this model does not), the wall control would also manage light functions.
Reversible Motor Function:
The fan features a reversible motor for year-round comfort. A switch on the fan's motor housing controls the direction of blade rotation. To change the direction:
- Ensure the fan is completely off and the blades have stopped rotating.
- Locate the reverse switch on the motor housing (often a small slide switch).
- Slide the switch to the opposite position.
- Turn the fan back on.
For summer operation, the blades should rotate counter-clockwise (downdraft) to create a cooling breeze. For winter operation, the blades should rotate clockwise (updraft) to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your Hunter Trimaran ceiling fan.
Cleaning:
- Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
- Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the fan blades and motor housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- For outdoor installations, periodically wipe down the fan to remove dirt, dust, and salt residue to maintain the WeatherMax finish.
Blade Care:
The fan blades are designed to be droop-free and durable. Avoid bending the blades or applying excessive force during cleaning or handling.
