Once you start your Stinger

®

Mosquito Vacuum, it will begin

working immediately luring and trapping mosquitoes but it is

recommended to run the Mosquito Vacuum continuously in

season to interrupt breeding cycles and reduce mosquito

populations. Allow 3-4 weeks to see drastically reduced

populations of mosquitoes in your yard.
1. Place Mosquito Vacuum in optimal location.

See previous MOSQUITO VACUUM PLACEMENT.

2. Plug in Unit. Plug the low voltage power connector end of

the power supply into the underside of the Vacuum Head

located behind the Right Pedestal Upright

(Figure 9).

3. Attach Unit to Power Supply. Plug the power

supply into approved 120V GFCI receptacle

and position cord such that it will not interfere

with outdoor activities. If using an approved

outdoor extension cord (not provided), plug the

power supply into approved outdoor extension

cord, plug extension cord into approved 120V

GFCI receptacle and position extension cord

such that it will not interfere with outdoor

activities.

4. Turn on Propane. Slowly turn propane tank on to the full open position (turn valve counter-clockwise

). Check for gas leaks by wiping non-ammonia soapy water on the connector and looking for any

signs of small bubbles forming.

5. Start Mosquito Vacuum. This unit has child secure controls. Press and hold POWER ( ) for 3

seconds to start the unit. The fan will go on and POWER ( ) indicator light will blink GREEN in warm-

up mode until it reaches operating temperature (approximately 5 minutes)

(Figure 10). When POWER

( ) indicator light is steady GREEN, the Mosquito Vacuum is ready to lure and trap mosquitoes. If unit

fails to light, it will cycle through the start up mode two additional times automatically. If unable to

start, an error light will be illuminated on the User Control Panel. See TROUBLESHOOTING in this

manual or on the unit for help.
