Troubleshooting
Possible Cause
1. Is the propane tank empty?
2. If propane tank is new, it may have
air blockage, has it been purged?
3. If tank has been opened too quickly, security
check valve may have triggered.
4. Is the power cord plugged in?
5. Is there a loose connection?
1. The tank regulator isn't fully engaged.
2. Propane tank may be empty or need to be
purged.
1. Insects may not be out yet.
2. Trap improperly placed.
3. Biting insects reproductive cycles have not
yet been broken.
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 another propane powered
device operating on a standard, 20 lb propane
tank, try hooking that tank up to the trap to
verify that the issue is with your tank.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and
reconnect. Then open the regulator valve slowly.
4. Verify all electrical connections. Make sure you are
using the correct power requirements for your unit.
5. Make sure regulator is fully engaged, and propane
tank valve is fully open.
1. Make sure the regulator is fully engaged, and
propane tank valve is fully open.
2. Go through above steps 1, 2 and 3.
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 weeks to interrupt the
breeding cycle.
