How To Install the Dynatrap

1. Unpack unit. Save carton for off-season storage (if needed).
2. If hanging the unit, place approximately 3–6 feet above floor/ground level for optimal catch rate and easy access for cleaning.
3. Plug cord into an outlet or UL listed extension cord as described in “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
4. For best catch results leave unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
5. Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results it is recommended to keep the unit away from competing light sources. Intended for household use only.
6. It is recommended to place the unit at least 10 to 20 feet away from where people will be sitting.
7. This unit is all weather resistant – designed for outdoor use including rainy conditions.

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning will prolong the life of the unit, ensure fire prevention and provide for more efficient operation.

1. Be sure to clean the unit once per week
2. Switch the unit off and unplug before cleaning.
3. For weekly cleaning, remove the cage by turning it clockwise. Remove any buildup from the inside of the retaining cage and fan with a brush (included).
4. For major cleaning, press and separate middle body as described below in “Replacing Bulbs.” (Recommended once a year after peak season).
5. When replacing retaining cage, DO NOT press or hold onto screen windows. Should the screen detach from the frame, re-align the screen into the track within the frame.

REPLACING BULB

The light bulb life expectancy is approximately 3,000 hours (or about 4 months), and should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb’s light may be visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes over time.

1. Turn power switch to “off” position. UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing.
2. Remove retaining cage, and turn unit upside down.
3. Separate the middle body from the upper body. Some force may be required to separate the pieces.
4. Carefully pull the bulb from the socket and replace with a new one. (NOTE: Bulb may be held in place by a metal bracket for shipping. Unscrew and remove metal bracket to remove the bulb. The bracket is not necessary and may be discarded.)
5. After bulb has been replaced, re-attach middle body to upper body. Make certain that the middle body snaps into place and that fan wires are not pinched.
