Initial Set Up Instructions
3
Before attempting operation of your PREMIER Trap, follow these instructions:
1. Remove the Trap from the carton.
2. Remove the box containing the Stand from the carton.
3. Assemble the Stand (see Page 7 - Stand Assembly Instructions section).
4. Remove the box marked Accessories from the base of the carton.
5. Fit the External Skirt to the outside of the Trap by sliding the skirt on from the top of
the Trap so that the opening is directly in front of the Door (see Page 12 - Fitting of
External Skirt section).
Note: Failure to position the Skirt correctly will result in a NIL mosquito catch.
6. Your PREMIER Trap has two mosquito collection methods: a dry-catch system using
a Catch Bag and a wet catch system using a Catch Container. In most circumstances
the wet-catch system offers superior catch performance to the dry-catch system. The
dry-catch system using the Catch Bag is better for mosquito species identification.
7. If you wish to catch mosquitoes using the Catch Bag, then attach the Catch Bag to the
base of the Fan inside the Trap. The Catch Bag has an elastic top to facilitate attachment
(see Page 10 - Mosquito Catching Systems section).
8. If you wish to catch mosquitoes using the wet-catch system, fill the Liquid Catch
Container two-thirds full with fresh water. Add 2 or 3 drops of liquid detergent / soap
to break the surface tension of the water. Also add 3 or 4 teaspoons of a non-diet
(sugar-based) soft drink. Then place the Liquid Catch Container in the Trap using the
locating feet on its base.
9.. Remove the Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip from its pouch being careful not to
touch the exposed holes on its surface. Place the strip inside the Trap (see Page 15 -
Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip section).
Wash your hands after this procedure has been completed.
10. Reinstall the Door by locating the base of the Door in the Trap and then pushing firmly
until Door clicks into place. Lock the Door using one of the two Keys provided with the
Trap and then remove the Key. (NOTE: Removing and reinstalling the door is designed
to require a reasonable amount of force to make it difficult for children.)
11. Hang the Trap from the hook on the Stand
in the direction shown in the Stand Assembly
Instructions. To achieve this, hold the Trap in an upright position so that the top of the
Trap is next to the hook on the stand. Then swing the bottom of the Trap outwards
(through an arc of about 45 degrees) and you will see that the top of the Trap will fit
through the gap in the hook. This is a design feature to prevent the Trap falling off the
stand accidentally.
