propane regulator hose to propane tank. Secure

slowly
turning valve counter-
clockwise. Take care not to turn too quickly to avoid
engagement of safety valve.
DO NOT MOVE TRAP WITH TANK ATTACHED!
TANK MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM REGULATOR
BEFORE TRAP IS RELOCATED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO
REGULATOR AND/OR TRAP. BE ADVISED, DAMAGE
CAUSED FROM FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS
INSTRUCTION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
Trap Placement
1. Determine the direction of the prevailing wind.
Check local weather patterns if you are unsure.
2. Stand in the center of the area you are trying to protect
and look toward the prevailing wind.
3. Proper placement of the trap will be 10 meters
in front of you, within 1.5 meters of ground cover (i.e.
bushes, flowerbeds, tree line, marshbed). Ensure that
trap is not directly against any blockades such as buildings,
fences, etc.
4. It is recommended that the trap be placed in the shade.
5. Do not place trap directly above a water source
(sprinklers, hose, etc.).
6. Trap must be placed on level ground to avoid tipping
or uneven propane distribution.
7. For optimal trap placement in your yard, refer to the
instructional CD-ROM included with your trap; or, go to
www.mosquitomagnet.com to build your own yard
diagram for correct trap placement.
