GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Flowtron Electronic Insect Killer is designed to
attract and kill light sensitive flying insects which are
attracted to its ultraviolet light and its unique Octenol
slow release mosquito attractant. As insects fly
toward the light, a special air flow draws them into a
convenient, removable trap where they quickly
dehydrate and die.
Flowtron utilizes two of the most important technolo-
gies in attracting and killing mosquitoes and other
light-sensitive flying insect pests.
1.
Diffused Light Source
– Bright, intense light can
affect the behavior of mosquitoes and may actual-
ly act as a repellent at close range. The uniquely
designed lens around your insect killer bulb diffus-
es ultraviolet light to ensure that mosquitoes will
continue to fly to the unit and not be repelled as
they near the light source.
2.
Air Movement
– Your insect killer is equipped
with an axial fan which produces a special air flow
to draw mosquitoes and other small insect pests
into the unit. As insects approach, this air flow
affects their natural defensive reaction to escape
by gently guiding them into the unit, through the
fan and into a removable trap where they quickly
dehydrate and die.
INSTALLATION
1. Unpack the insect killer and save the carton and
fillers to store the unit in the off season.
2.
For outdoor use
, choose a sturdy mounting
surface from which to hang the unit. Flowtron SB-
300 Security Bracket or SP-200 Security Pole are
available as accessories and may be purchased
on line at
www.flowtron.com
.
Hang the unit three to six feet above the ground
and 25 to 50 feet away from areas intended for
human activity. Position the unit between the
source of insects (woods, low lands, water, etc.)
and the area to be protected.
3.
For indoor use
, place the unit on a table or
directly on the floor in an area where mosquitoes
and other flying insects tend to gather.
EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords must be used with the Flowtron
insect killer. For outdoor use, use extension cords
marked SJW-A and tagged “suitable for use with
outdoor appliances.”
For indoor use, the longer extension cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or the tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged
or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
as great as the electrical rating of your Flowtron
insect killer.
Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles which accept the product’s plug.
Appropriate extension cords and devices for retaining
an extension cord connection to the Flowtron insect
killer power cord are available at your local dealer.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit must be grounded. In the event of malfunc-
tion or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This unit is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
1. Use properly grounded 115/120 Volt A.C. outlet
and 3-wire extension cord.
2. Keep extension cord connection dry and off the
ground.
3. Never place fingers or hands, or insert any
objects into the unit while it is connected to an
electrical outlet.
4. Always disconnect the unit from its power source
before cleaning, handling, emptying its trap or
disassembling unit.
5. Remove trap and dispose of dead insects fre-
quently to insure proper air flow through the trap.
6. Do not abuse the power cord. Never carry the
unit by its cord. Never yank power cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle.
7. Keep power cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Repair or replace damaged power cord.
8. Store unit indoor when not in use. Keep out of
reach of children.
9. Do not clean with a water spray or the like.
