If your Mosquito Magnet fails to start, it may be the result of poor gas flow from the propane tank through the regulator to the trap.
The attached tool has been designed to reset the internal mechanisms of the propane regulator and release any back pressure
from your tank. Please follow these steps:
Shut down your Mosquito Magnet.
Completely close the propane tank valve by turning to the “Off” position. (turn valve clockwise)
Disconnect the regulator from the propane tank valve.
Screw the threaded end of the reset tool into the propane tank valve until it is fully engaged.
You may hear a small “hiss” sound. This is the pressure being released from the propane tank.
Note: the threads in the tank valve are left handed threads. (turn valve counter clockwise)
Screw the regulator connector to the opposite end of the reset tool until fully engaged.
Note: hold the reset tool to
prevent it from backing out of the tank.
The regulator and propane tank are now reset. Disconnect the reset tool from the
regulator connector and the propane tank.
Re-attach regulator connector to the propane tank valve.
Slowly turn the propane tank valve on .
Restart your trap.

Should you experience an interruption of power, be sure to restart the trap.
Clear door must be closed tightly to maximize catch.
Never spray insecticide in or around trap.
DO NOT MOVE TRAP WITH TANK ATTACHED! TANK MUST BE DISCON-
NECTED FROM REGULATOR BEFORE TRAP IS RELOCATED TO AVOID
DAMAGE TO REGULATOR AND/OR TRAP.

Trap can be left running in the rain.
If using lime or lawn regenerative compounds, be sure to shut down the
Mosquito Magnet first to prevent dust or fine mist from being drawn into trap
and clogging net.
A standard, outdoor rated extension cord may be used to increase your trap area.

TANK CHANGING TIPS
When attaching the regulator handle to a tank after a tank change, be sure to fully tighten the regulator
handle onto the tank. No need to use tools, but do turn the handle as far as possible by hand. When this is
done, loosen the handle 1/4 turn, then re-tighten the handle. Frequently this action will result in additional
turns beyond the 1/4 turn. The purpose for this is to fully engage the regulator onto the tank. If the regula-
tor is not fully engaged, the flow of gas may be restricted to the point where the trap will show a gas empty
code. If this occurs, press the off button, close the tank valve, and remove the regulator from the tank. Re-
attach the regulator and try again.
