Gas Reset Tool; Maintenance; Troubleshooting Guide - Mosquito Magnet Liberty Operation Manual

GAS RESET TOOL INSTRUCTIONS
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:
1
Shut down your Mosquito Magnet.
2
Completely close the propane tank valve by turning to the "Off" position. (turn valve clockwise)
3
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.
4
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)
5 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.
6 The regulator and propane tank are now reset. Disconnect the reset tool from the
regulator connector and the propane tank.
7
Re-attach regulator connector to the propane tank valve.
8
Slowly turn the propane tank valve on .
9
Restart your trap.

SOLUTIONS
1) Weigh tank and check against "empty" weight
written on tank.
2) Bring tank to filling location. Air may be in fuel line.
Ask for tank to be purged. *Hint-If you have an-
other propane powered device operating on a stan
dard, 20lb propane tank, try hooking that tank up to the
Mosquito Magnet to verify that your issue is with your
tank.
3) Verify all electrical connections. Make sure
regulator is fully engaged, and propane tank valve
is fully open.
4) Refer to Reset Tool Instructions on page 12.
1) Go through above steps 1 & 3.
2) See Quick-Clear valve instructions.
3) See Tank Changing Tips on page 11.
1) Verify temperature is consistently above 50°F (10°C).
2) Follow steps in the "Trap Placement" section of
your owner's manual or go to
www.mosquitomagnet.com "Placement" section.
3) Keep trap in constant operation 24 hours/day,
7 days/week for 4-6 weeks to interrupt
the breeding cycle.
4) Conduct a "tissue test" by holding a facial tissue
up to horn to check for airflow.
5) Call your local mosquito control department to find
out if Asian Tiger is your primary species of mos-
quito. Asian Tiger mosquitoes are not attracted to
Octenol. Remove Octenol cartridge from your unit,
and wipe Octenol compartment with alcohol wipe
to eliminate scent.
