Default Old Hunter Fan Installation

Harry wrote:
Hello,

Do you know where, on the Internet i can get good pictures and
instructions for hanging an old "Classic" Hunter fan? I purchased the 4
fans about 16 years ago, removed them from sold house and want to
install them in newly purchased house.




I've got a Hunter Classic in my living room and I just want to alert you to a
potential problem: Be sure, if you're upgrading from a crappy fan to the
Hunter, to look at the electrical control you've got mounted on your wall.
Lightweight units aren't going to do it.

I woke up the night I installed mine to the smell of smoke. I was able to track
it down to the wall where the speed control was mounted... it was hotter than a
firecracker. Scared the hell out of me. I shut it off and let it cool down,
then went down to the borg and bought one of the Hunter controls specifically
made for the Classic.

It ain't some lightweight unit; it draws serious current. That being said, it's
been like the Energizer Bunny.... just keeps on running.

Sorry I don't have any mounting information but I would think a standard kit
available at any borg should work fine. The electrical requirements are
unusual; the mounting ones are not.
