5. Install MA-1000 Octenol Attractant Cartridge:
U.S. Government and university researchers have demon-
strated that o c t e n o l , a component of human respiration, is
an attractant to mosquitoes and biting fli e s .
The Galaxie PowerVac uses a specially designed time
release cartridge containing octenol (1-OCTEN-3-OL).
Install the Octenol Cartridge as follows:
a . Release the hood latch by pulling top of latch forward.
b . Raise the hood up to a vertical position.
c . Remove the octenol cartridge
from its package and peel off
the adhesive label covering the
evaporation holes.
d. Place the cartridge in the rec-
tangle well in the center of the
plenum with the evaporation
holes facing upward.
See Illustration 4.
e. Close hood and secure the
hood latch.
6 . Position and screw power pack to either an outside or
inside wall adjacent to a 115/120 volt A.C. outlet (screws
not provided). Run the low voltage wire either above or
below ground from the power pack to the unit. Plug the
low voltage wire into the power cord connector located at
the bottom of the PowerVac. Plug the power pack into the
electrical outlet.
7 . Place the switch located at the rear on the underside of
the unit adjacent to the power cord to the “on”position.
When the power is applied, the ultraviolet blacklight-blue
bulb will emit a bluish glow, the axial fan will rotate, the
four colored LED’s will light and oscillate and the built-in
heater will heat the entry louver to body temperature.

NOTE U l t r aviolet or “ b l a ck l i g h t ” is inv i s i ble to the
eye, and its ability to attract insects diminishes ov e r
t i m e . T h e r e f o r e, although the bulb appears to be
functioning it should be replaced ev e ry season to
maintain optimal “ b l a ck l i g h t ” e f f e c t i v e n e s s .
