5. Install MA-1000 Octenol Attractant Cartridge:
U.S. Government and university researchers have demon-
strated that
o c t e n o l
, a component of human respiration, is
an attractant to mosquitoes and biting fli e s .
The Galaxie PowerVac uses a specially designed time
release cartridge containing
octenol
(1-OCTEN-3-OL).
Install the Octenol Cartridge as follows:
a . Release the hood latch by pulling top of latch forward.
b . Raise the hood up to a ver-
tical position.
c . Remove the octenol car-
tridge from its package and
peel off the adhesive label
covering the evaporation
h o l e s .
d. Place the cartridge in the
rectangle well in the center
of the plenum with the
evaporation holes facing
upward.
See Illustration 4.
e. Close hood and secure the hood latch.
6 . Position and screw power pack to either an outside or
inside wall adjacent to an AC outlet box (screws not pro-
vided). Run the low voltage wire either above or below
ground from the power pack to the unit. Plug the low volt-
age wire into the power cord connector located at the
bottom of the PowerVac. Plug the power pack into the
electrical outlet.
7 . Place the On/Off switch located on the underside of the
unit adjacent to the power cord to the “on”position.
When the power is applied, the ultraviolet blacklight
bulbs will emit a bluish glow, the axial fan will rotate, the
two colored LED
’
s will light and oscillate and the built-in
heater will heat the entry louver to body temperature.
Maintenance
1. Collection Tray:
Empty the collection tray periodically to ensure proper air
flow through the trap. To remove the collection tray, push
in on the latch at the front of the tray and pull tray down.
2. Octenol Cartridge:
Replace the octenol cartridge after approximately three
weeks of Galaxie PowerVac usage.
3. Ultraviolet Blacklight Bulb:
To replace the blacklight bulb:
a. Place on/off switch to the ”off” position and discon-
nect power cord.
b. Open hood latch and raise hood to an upright position.
c. Pull bulb out of its socket.
d. Insert BF-210 replacement bulb.
e. Close hood and secure with latch
f. Connect power cord and return switch to the “on”
position.
Use only Flowtron BF-210 replacement bulbs available
from your dealer or from www.flowtron.com.
4. Axial Fan and Funnel:
Clean the Axial fan and funnel each time the octenol
cartridge is replaced or more often during periods of heavy
insect infestation.
To clean the Fan and Funnel, open the hood latch and lift
the hood to an upright position.
a. Clean fan blades and area between the fan blades
and the surrounding fan housing using the cleaning
brush provided. The brush is located behind the
Octenol well. Simply slide the brush out from its
stored location. When complete place cleaning brush
back in its proper storage location.
See illustration 4.
b. To clean the funnel, remove the collection tray and then
remove the funnel from the unit
’
s housing as follows:
Push rear of bottom funnel ring
up into the unit
’
s housing until
front tabs become
disengaged from housing.
See figure A .
Pull funnel down and forward
releasing rear section of upper
funnel surface and remove
funnel from unit. See fig u r e B .
Remove insect debris from
screen surrounding funnel.
Wash screen with water and
shake off excess water before
r e - i n s t a l l i n g .
Re-install funnel by holding
funnel at a slight angle and
inserting the front edge of the
upper funnel surface inside of
u n i t
’
s housing. See figure C.
Push funnel upwards and with
the rear section of the bottom
funnel ring at a slight angle
compress funnel until front
tabs of bottom funnel ring are
up inside of the housing.
See figure D.
Close hood, secure with latch, connect power cord and
return the on/off switch to the “on” position.
Note: Hood must be down and latched to engage
the interlock and provide power to the fan and
bulbs.
NOTE Ultraviolet or “blacklight” is invisible to the
eye, and its ability to attract insects diminishes over
time. There f o re, although the bulb appears to be
functioning it should be replaced every season to
maintain optimal “blacklight” eff e c t i v e n e s s .
