INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unpack unit. Save carton for off-season storage (if needed).
Remove cardboard insert from the retaining cage.
2. Place the air damper assembly in the retaining cage with the
crossbar facing up. Align the six damper notches with the
matching notches on the retaining cage.
3. Place the trap on the retaining cage and twist clockwise to
the lock position.
4. If hanging the unit, place it approximately 3 - 6 feet above floor
or ground for optimal catch-rate and easy access for cleaning.
Unit can also be placed on the floor or ground.
5. Flip power switch to "ON" ("I") position. The switch is located
under the upper housing near the light bulbs.
6. For best catch results, leave unit on at all times, except when
cleaning or servicing.
7. Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results,
place unit away from other competing light sources.
8. It is recommended to place the unit 20 - 40 feet away from where
people will be sitting.
9. This unit is all-weather resistant – designed for outdoor use
including rainy conditions. Intended for household and
commercial, indoor and outdoor use.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
11. SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES - In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing of a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to those parts in
the appliance. The symbol must be identical to those parts in the appliance. A double-insulated appliance
is marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATION", "DOUBLE-INSULATED" or the symbol:
CLEANING

2. Grasp the edge of the crossbar and pull up firmly to remove damper assembly.
3. Dispose of contents and clean any buildup from the inside of the retaining cage with a small brush.

REPLACING BULBS REPLACE WITH DYNATRAP
®
BULBS #32050 (or equivalent T5 Type - 120V/6W UVA Bulbs)
The light bulb life expectancy is approximately 3,000 hours (or about 4 months), and should be replaced
regularly to ensure optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb's light may be visible to you, it's ability to
attract insects diminishes over time.
1. Turn power switch to "OFF" ("0") position. UNPLUG UNIT (1), and allow bulbs to cool before replacing.
2. Remove screw from clear plastic light socket covers (2).
3. Remove both clear plastic light socket covers.
4. Carefully turn bulb counterclockwise and then pull bulb straight out (3).
5. Locate and insert new bulbs into sockets, carefully turn clockwise, and make sure the prongs of the bulb
are seated properly.
6. Replace clear plastic light socket covers and secure with screw.
HOW THE DYNATRAP
INSECT TRAP WORKS
®
Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV
light and CO2 that is generated by the photo-
catalysis between the UV lamps and the special
TiO2 coating. The fan then pulls the insects into
the screened base, trapping them until they
dehydrate and die. The base can be removed,
allowing the contents to be periodically emptied
into the trash. Monitor the insects trapped in the
retaining cage, through the see-through screen,
and empty when compartment becomes full.
