Operating Instructions
The Hunter Seawall 52416 fan is operated using the included wall control. It features a 3-speed reversible WhisperWind motor and an integrated LED light.

Reversible Motor Function
The WhisperWind motor allows for seasonal use. A switch on the motor housing (or on the wall control, depending on the model) controls the direction of blade rotation.
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Set blades to spin counter-clockwise to create a downdraft, providing a cooling effect.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise): Set blades to spin clockwise on low speed to create an updraft, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling.

LED Light Operation
The integrated LED light can be turned on/off and dimmed using the dedicated buttons on the wall control.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Clean the fan housing and blades with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade Tightness: Periodically check all blade screws for tightness. Loose screws can cause wobbling and noise.
- Light Bulbs: The fan uses integrated LED bulbs. If replacement is needed, consult Hunter customer support for compatible parts.
- Outdoor Use: As a WeatherMax outdoor fan, it is designed to withstand outdoor elements. However, occasional cleaning of accumulated dirt or debris will help maintain its appearance and function.
