Operation Of The Eco-Trap
3. It takes approximately 30 minutes from the time the Eco-Trap is turned "ON"
for the reaction to produce effective quantities of attractant and for the sticky
paper to obtain optimum temperature.
Once the sticky paper and the attractant cup have been put into place as per the instructions, the trap is ready
for use. Carefully place the trap in the location you have selected following the "WHERE TO PLACE THE ECO-
TRAP" and all of the "SAFETY" guidelines. Proceed as follows:
1. Plug in the power supply cord to an approved outdoor use extension cord or
directly into a 120V AC Outlet, as per the safety instructions and plug the other
end into the Eco-Trap unit.
2. Locate the ON/OFF button near the bottom edge of the main body.
See Illustration. Press the button, as indicated, to turn the unit "ON". The
button will light up.
Maintenance
1. Replace the sticky paper whenever it starts to become full.
Mosquito Fact: About 800 dead mosquitoes equals 1 tablespoon! One ounce equals over 65,000 dead mos-
quitoes! A full sticky paper can hold up to 1,000 mosquitos!
2. There is a replaceable fuse on the bottom of the Eco-Trap. Check this fuse if the Eco-Trap does not turn on
when properly plugged into an approved electric outlet.
WARNING: Always remember to unplug the unit and remove the attractant cup before service.
3. CAUTION: Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the Eco-Trap.
Example: Placing on padded surface.
4. Clean the Eco-Trap outside surface with a mild detergent on a damp cloth. Rinse with clean water only.
WARNING: Always remember to unplug the unit and remove the attractant cup before cleaning.
Do Not Spray with or immerse in water. Do not use a dripping wet cloth!
