1. SAFETY RULES

Model #96015-xx: 37.5 lbs

97215-xx: 44.6 lbs

1. To avoid possible electric shock, turn
off the electricity at the main fuse box or

circuit panel before you begin the fan
installation or before servicing the fan or
installing accessories.

2. Read all instructions and safety
information carefully before installing
your fan and save these instructions.

3. Make sure all electrical connections
comply with local codes or ordinances as
well as the National Electrical Code. If
you are unfamiliar with electric wiring,
please use a qualified and licensed
electrician.

4. Make sure you have a location
selected for your fan which allows clear
space for the blades to rotate, and at lease
seven (7) feet of clearance between the
floor and the fan blade tips.

5. To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or other personal injury, mount fan
only on an outlet box or supporting system
marked acceptable for fan support of 50
lbs (22.7 kg) or less and use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box. Most
outlet boxes commonly used for the support
of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

6. To reduce the risk of personal injury
use only approved hanging brackets and
screws supplied with the outlet box for
mounting to the outlet box.

7. After installation is complete, check
that all connections are absolutely secure.

8. Do not insert anything into the fan
blades while they are rotating.

9. To operate the reverse function on the
fan, press the reverse button on the wall
transmitter while the fan is running.

10. Do not attempt to control the
operation of the fan (or an optional light
kit) from any wall control that is not
approved by Quorum for use with its fans.
Do not use solid state wall controls. The
use of any unapproved control voids the
fan's warranty.

3. MOUNTING OPTIONS

1. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Fig. 1

2. If there is an existing outlet box, ensure it is clearly marked "Suitable for Fan
Support of 50 lbs (22.7 kg) or lesse". If it is not so marked, it must be replaced with an

approved one.
WARNING: Most outlet boxs commonly used for support of lighting fixtures are not

acceptable for fan support, and may need to be replaced. Due to the complexity of the
installation of this fan, a qualified licensed electrician is strongly recommened.

3. Secure the outlet box (or make sure the existing box is secured) directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials.

4. Figures 1 and 2 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box in different

situations. A longer downrod may be required in sloped ceiling situations to maintain
proper blade clearance.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, OR PERSONAL INJURY,

MOUNT THE FAN ONLY TO AN OUTLET MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 50 LBS
(22.7 KG) OR LESS AND USE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX.
