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.
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 it 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 (1 x 1 x 3 or 25mm x 25mm x 75mm) and warm soapy water,
reach into the Trap and carefully clean the inside casing of the Fan and the Fan Blades.
When dry, spray the inside fan housing and the tips of the fan blades with a coat of
TEFLON-based dry lubricant spray.
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.
