TROUBLESHOOTING
Unit will not light, no apparent grid voltage
• Make sure the unit is plugged into a working outlet
Unit will not light, grid has voltage
• Check bulb to make sure it is seated properly
• Replace bulb if necessary
Unit appears to be working properly but insect population does not seem reduced
• Check surrounding area for sitting water, insects breed in these areas and
should be eliminated at the source.
• Allow more time. It will take some time for insects to find the unit and also
for there to be an impact on their reproductive cycle.
• Try moving the unit to another area of the yard. If you are in between the
unit and the source of the insects, they will have to fly by you to get to the
unit and you may actually notice an increase in insects.
Unit is constantly arcing (sparking)
• Clean the unit per the instructions in this manual
• The unit will arc upon plug in and then stabilize. This is normal.
(BK310 AND BK510 MODELS ONLY)
Unit makes a slight humming sound when plugged in.
• This is due to relative humidity levels and is normal. This will not
impact performance.
The unit does not come on during the daytime.
• Check the sundown sensor which may be activated and only allows unit
to operate dusk to dawn. See figures 2 and 3.

other questions, please call consumer relations at 800-477-0457 or email
CHANGING BULBS
Only use Stinger replacement bulbs. Bulbs should
be replaced annually to maintain optimal UV
effectiveness. Even though the bulb’s light may be
visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes
over time. If the bulb fails to light or the color of
the light changes to yellow or orange it is time to
replace the bulb. See PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
for bulb replacement type for your device.
To order replacement bulbs and lures go to www.StingerProducts.com or
call 1-800-477-0457. In Canada, you can also visit Canadian Retail stores
to purchase these items.
CLEANING
As the unit kills insects, most of the insect remains will be vaporized or fall down through the
unit. Some debris may be left on the zapping grid or may accumulate in the base of the unit.
This may reduce the effectiveness of the device. Check your device frequently and clean the
unit regularly. The time in between each cleaning will vary depending on your insect population.
1. Unplug and remove entire unit from hanging position.
2. Remove bulb from unit to avoid damage (see section CHANGING BULBS).
3. Using a small brush or stick, gently remove any insect remains from the bottom of
the bulb door and enclosure.
4. If available, compressed air may be used to clean the unit.
5. Never use water to clean the unit. Water may damage the electrical components.
6. Be very careful not to move or adjust the metal killing grid in any way.
7. Once the unit is clean replace the bulb, return unit to hanging position and reconnect
to power source.

OCTENOL MOSQUITO LURE
A NOsquito
®
octenol lure by Stinger (NS16 model series) is included with the unit.
Research has shown that octenol is effective in attracting many species of mosquitoes
and biting flies. This lure has slow release properties and increases the effectiveness
of attracting insects to the unit. For Canada, use replacement lure NS16-6-CAN and
replace every 14 days.
1. Open the lure by peeling off the foil lid.
2. All BK series models have a specially designed
holder built into the base. Simply slide the lure
into this holder with the exposed octenol side
facing in to the device
(Figure 4)
. The lure should
fit snugly and the tension tabs should hold it
securely in place.
3. To remove – place thumb into recess and slide
lure out. Discard appropriately in trash receptacle.
1. Unplug and remove entire unit from hanging position.
2. Turn the unit upside down. DO NOT REST THE UNIT ON SURFACE WITHOUT
CONTINUING TO SUPPORT IT. It will not stand on its own and was intentionally
designed for use in a hanging position.
3. Use thumb to depress easy tab and open bulb door.
4. Remove old bulb by pulling straight out and dispose safely in accordance to
local laws. (Figure 5).
5. Insert new bulb making sure it is properly seated in the socket.
6. Close the bulb door by snapping it back into place.
7. Place the unit back into the hanging position and plug into extension cord.
NOTE: If unit fails to light after replacing bulb, unplug unit, take it down, remove the
bulb and reseat it in the socket.
Figure 4
6. BK310 and BK510 models have 2 settings – 24 Hour Mode and
Dusk to Dawn Mode.
a.
To select 24 Hour Mode, slide the grey button on the cap down so that it covers the sundown
sensor. The unit will remain ON 24 hours a day
(Figure 2).
b.
To select Dusk to Dawn Mode, slide the grey button up, revealing the sundown sensor. The unit will
automatically turn ON at dusk, operate through the night, and turn OFF in the morning
(Figure 3)
.
7. Using the available lure will add to the effectiveness of the unit by adding scent proven to attract more
insects to the unit.
8. It is recommended that this unit be put to use in early spring and left out until late fall to
maximize effects.
9. The unit is designed to withstand moderate rain but should be taken down and stored indoors
during severe weather.
