General Information

Your Flowtron Electronic Insect Killer attracts light sensitive flying insects with its high intensity ultraviolet light and its unique OCTENOL slow release lure. As insects fly toward the light, they pass through a patented vertical rod killing grid and are destroyed cleanly and efficiently without the use of chemical fogs or sprays.

Installation

1 . Unpack the insect killer. Save the carton and fillers. Use them for storage during off-season months.

2 . Choose a sturdy mounting device from which to hang the unit. If permanent installation is desired, check your local electrical codes and see a professional electrician.

Extension Cords

Outdoor extension cords may be used with the Flowtron insect killer. Use extension cords marked SJW-A or SJTW-A and tagged “suitable for use with outdoor appliances.''

The electrical rating of the extension cord must be as great as the electrical rating of your Flowtron insect killer.

Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the product’s plug. (Applies to BK-15D and BK-80D only).

Appropriate extension cords and devices for retaining an exten- sion cord connection to the Flowtron insect killer power cord are available at your local dealer.

NOTICE: Grounding Instructions apply to models BK-15D and BK-80D. All other models are equipped with a two-wire power cord and do not require a three-wire extension cord or a grounding type receptacle.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Your Flowtron insect killer is equipped with an appropriate three- conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit

the proper grounding type receptacle. To reduce the risk of electrical shock the plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Your Flowtron insect killer has a grounding plug that looks like the plug as shown and is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet as shown.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or in doubt as to whether proper grounding exists.

OCTENOL MOSQUITO ATTRACTANT

U.S. Government and university researchers have demonstrated that octenol, a component of respiration, is effective in attracting many species of mosquitoes and biting flies. Your Flowtron insect killer uses an exclusive slow-release Octenol mosquito Attractant cartridge (MA-1000) which increases the effectiveness of the insect killer to lure mosquitoes and biting flies into its killing grid.

Directions for Use:

Remove the octenol cartridge from the sealed pouch and peel the protective cover from the face of the cartridge. Avoid touching the

openings in the cartridge and always Cartridge wash your hands thoroughly after

contact.

3 . Hang the insect killer at a height of six to eight feet above the ground.

4 . Place the unit 25 to 50 feet away from the area intended for human activity. Position the insect killer between the source of insects (woods, lowlands, etc.) and the area to be protected.

5 . Plug the power cord into a grounded outdoor outlet or a U.L. listed 18 gauge extension cord. The bulb(s) will emit a bluish glow within a few seconds.

Note: Bulb may flicker slightly when insects are being destroyed. This is normal operation.

Operation:

When your insect killer is on it will provide the heat and convec- tive air flow to vaporize the lure and disperse it at the proper rate per hour for maximum effectivity. For best results replace the cartridge every 30 days.
