*Love it! Keeps the room very **Fastly.Cool** . The manual states it comes with a year warranty and 5 year part replacement. The compressor makes the typical sound...small price to pay for AC.*
Came across a small grocery store in southern Ohio some 30 years ago. They had four Hunter fans installed up front by the cab registers. They were of the original two blade models , probably dated to before WWII. These were classics.
The best fan shaft oils for Hunter original fans (US or China) are SuperLube Synthetic lightweight oil (4oz bottle) or ZoomSpout turbine oil (4oz bottle) at HD or Lowes - half the price and twice the amount of the Hunter crappy oil.
I like the Super Lube products. Which viscosity do you recommend? They make ISO 10, 22, 32, 46, 68, and 100. The 100 is probably too thick. Hunter states that their oil is a SAE 10. The Zoom oil is also good but I can't find a viscosity for it anywhere. I heard it's a SAE 20. Dou you know? Thanks.
@@calmannomore5832 The Superlube oil on the rack in HD and Lowe's is ISO 32, equivalent to 10w. The Zoom turbine oil, also in HD and lowes and every hvac supplier, is also iso 32/10w. Light machine oil is all iso 32 and very common. For us old folks, it was known years ago as sewing machine oil. Singer still sells it in quart bottles. I worry recommending with the terminology of 10w because someone might try motor oil. The fan oil must be non detergent, as you know.
@@WorldwideBeagle Hi Peter. Thanks for the quick reply. I looked on HD and Lowe's sites and they don't list the Super Lube ISO 32. That's the one I would like to get. They don't seem to have it anywhere. Not even Amazon.
@@calmannomore5832 Superlube 8 oz. Synthetic Extra Lightweight Oil Bottle (ISO 32-46) shows as being able to ship to HD store for $11.They also sell it by the gallon!
The exact same way as on this video. You use a pipe cleaner, bent the same, in the same location. For all USA made (pre 2002) fans, you will just have a plain 3/16" hole in the top of the housing, and not the fancy brass colored cap and spring closer. The best oils are SuperLube Synthetic lightweight oil or ZoomSpout turbine oil at HD or Lowes - half the price of the Hunter crappy oil.

Hell yeah brother
Great video dude. I filled my Chinese 52” with oil and checked it just like you did!
Nice work!
Great tips. Also do you have a video for oiling the 2002 original just curious
Thank you for making this video.

@@WorldwideBeagle I saw that one. It's actually ISO 46 (20W), p/n 53008. They make a 32 or 46. Just can't find the 32. Thanks.
Why doesn’t every ceiling fan have that inlet?
My Hunter ceiling fan was installed in about 1980. How is it oiled?

Ty ty. Helpful and to the point. Appreciated
Brian, please do a house tour! I’m dying to see a full tour!!
That is something that I am planning to do after the kitchen remodel is done.
Would be smart if all fans could be lubed up this way without disassemble
You lost me after the two-minute mark. Moving on to the next video...
