IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT INSECT CONTROL

The Stinger Electric Insect Killer is designed to lure and kill a wide range of flying insects. The ultraviolet (UV) light given off by this unit is within the luminescent range proven effective to lure these insects. Insects are lured to the light and killed as they contact the electrically charged inner grid area. Insects fall through the open base onto the ground. The outer protective cage helps prevent pets, birds, butterflies, and children's fingers from contacting the charged grids. The unit is for outdoor use only and can withstand moderate rain. For best results, the unit should be installed in early spring and left on continuously through the season.

INSTALLING THE NOSQUITO MOSQUITO OCTENOL LURE

You will find a Nosquito octenol lure (NS16) included with most Stinger Insect Killers. Research has shown that octenol is effective in attracting many species of mosquitoes and biting flies. This lure has slow release properties and increases the effectiveness of luring mosquitoes to the unit. For best results, replace every 30 days.

1. Open lure by either removing lure from pouch or peeling off the foil lid.
2. Models UV15, UV40 and UVB45 have a specially designed holder built into the base. Simply push the lure into this holder. The lure should fit snuggly and the tension tabs should hold it tightly in place. (Fig. 3)
   
3. To remove – spread the tension tabs with your fingers, pull out the lure and discard appropriately in a trash receptacle.
4. Model UV801 unit has a small cassette which holds the lure. Simply place the lure into the cassette and attach to the body of the cage.

CHANGING BULBS

Only use Stinger™ replacement bulbs. These bulbs have an average life of 1000 hours and should be replaced annually to maintain optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb' s light may be visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes over time. If the bulb fails to light or the color of the light changes to yellow or orange it is time to replace the bulb. (Fig. 4)

1. Unplug and remove entire unit from hanging position.
2. Turn unit upside down, open the bulb cap and remove old bulb.
3. Insert the new bulb making sure it is properly seated in the socket.
4. Close the bulb cap by snapping it into place.
5. Place unit back into the hanging position and plug back into the outlet.
   Note: If unit fails to light after replacing bulb, take unit down and remove the bulb and reseat it in the socket.

CLEANING

As the unit kills insects, most of the insect remains will be vaporized or fall down through the unit. Some remains may be left on the grids and over time may reduce the effectiveness of this device. Make sure to regularly clean your unit to achieve maximum effectiveness. The time in between each cleaning will vary depending on your insect populations. Check your unit frequently and clean any insect remains you see.

1. Unplug and remove entire unit from hanging position.
2. Remove bulb from unit to avoid damage (see above instructions).
3. Using a small brush or stick, gently remove any insect remains from outer casing and inner grids.
4. If available, you may use compressed air to clean out your unit.
5. Never use water to clean your unit, water could damage the electrical components.
6. Be very careful not to move the grids from the seatings.
7. Once the unit is clean, replace the bulbs, return the unit to the hanging position and reconnect to power source.
   Note: If arcing occurs after cleaning, unplug unit and remove from hanging position. Check the grids and make sure they are not touching in any place. Gently use a stick to bend grids away from each other.
