Stinger CT100 Insect Control Equipment User Manual


 
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.

lures. Your Stinger
®
Mosquito Vacuum includes one 30 day NOsquito
by Stinger
®
2-in-1 Power Bait (NCL2). This bait has 2 active ingredients designed to attract a wider
range of mosquitoes, including those which may transmit West Nile Virus, encephalitis and other
diseases, away from you and your family and to this device that can kill these potentially dangerous
pests. The lure has a slow release and will emit an octenol and lactic acid-scented bait continuously
for 30 days.
a. To install, remove tape on top of bait and activate by
snapping the cartridge in half, fold over and secure both
ends together by interlocking the two small tabs found
at either end (Figure 11A).
