Mega Catch MCP800 operation manual Care of Your Trap, Method Two

Method Two:

1.Hang the Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap from the Stand (see Page 4 - Initial Set Up Instructions section - paragraph 11).

2.Slide the Skirt up from the bottom of the Trap (over 2 corners initially) with the elastic band at the top.

3.The Skirt is properly fitted when the elastic band is seated over the lower horizontal rib, just below the inlet holes (see figure 5). The opening in the Skirt should be located at the front of the Trap so as to facilitate removal of the Door without having to remove the Skirt. The hook-and-loop fastening on this opening should be closed when the Trap is running.

NOTE: Failure to position the skirt correctly will result in a NIL mosquito catch.

The Skirt is not manufactured from a U.V.-resistant material but this will not be an issue if the Trap is operated in shaded conditions as recommended. The Skirt can be reversed should one side begin to fade from exposure to U.V. light. The Skirt is a consumable item and replacements can be obtained from your Authorized Distributor.

Care of Your Trap

Your Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap requires very little maintenance. The Catch Bag and Liquid Catch Container should be cleaned and washed when required. Heavy catches of mosquitoes may result in a build-up of material in the internal casing and blade tips of the Fan. There may also be a build-up of material on the Fan Safety Guard. If this happens use the following cleaning technique:

1.Ensure the power to your Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap is disconnected. (Attention:

High-Speed Fan inside the Trap may cause injury if the power is not disconnected.)

2.To remove the Trap from the Stand, tip the Trap on its side and slide if off the hook.

3.Unlock and remove the Lockable Door. Then lay the Trap on its side with the Door opening being face up.

4.Reach inside the Trap and remove the Fan Safety Guard (attached to base of Fan) by turning it counterclockwise (see figure 6).

5.Using a small sponge or toothbrush and warm soapy water, reach into the Trap and carefully clean the inside casing of the Fan and the Fan Blades.

6.Ensure that water is not allowed to enter into the Fan Motor. Never hose water into the Fan.

7.Clean and then replace the Fan Safety Guard.

8.Leave the Trap to dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling it on the Stand and recommencing operation.
