3. MOUNTING OPTIONS

1. Disconnect the power by removing fuses
or turning off circuit breakers.
2. If there is an existing outlet box, ensure it
is clearly marked "Suitable for Fan Support".
If it is not so marked, it must be replaced
with an approved one.
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.
5. To hang the fan in locations where no
ceiling joist is available, a hanger support bar
may be required (Figure 3). Quorum
distributes approved hanger support bars and
outlet boxes.

DO NOT fasten the blades to the fan until it is
assembled and hanging from the ceiling. To do
so now will likely bend the blade arms and
almost certainly cause wobble.

outlet box with two screws and washers
provided with the outlet box. Make sure the
hugger/mounting plate is tight and secure.

hole in the hugger/mounting plate.
3. (Fig. 5) Lift fan into position by hanging
the motor assembly onto the hook from the
hugger/mounting plate allowing it to hang
freely. as shown in Fig. 5.

connections.
