8.0 Unit Maintenance
Periodically, the Trapzilla
®
unit will need to be serviced which
involves pumping out the accumulated grease & solids. Each
lid has four brass nuts securing the lid. Fully remove the lid to
access the grease. Begin by taking the grease from the top of the
main chamber. Upon reaching the horizontal baffle, you will see
a hole through which you may access the rest of the grease and
the solids. Be sure to lower the hose all the way to the bottom
of the Trapzilla unit so that solids may be entirely removed.
Note:
1. DO NOT use mechanical crust breaking devices to break down any mat that has formed inside
the Trapzilla unit.
2. Remove the four brass nuts from the bolts and fully remove the lid to pump out.
3. It is not necessary to remove adapter lid (ring) to pump out Trapzilla.
4. If necessary, use a water hose with spray nozzle to rinse off inside of unit.
5. DO NOT use grinding augers in maintenance of the Trapzilla unit.
Begin by pumping grease from upper
chamber, until you can see the entire
horizontal baffle.
May be necessary to use water hose to
rinse out parts of upper chamber.
Drop hose into lower chamber through hole
in horizontal baffle, pumping out all liquids
and solids remaining.
Again, it may be necessary to use water
hose to rinse out lower chamber.
