SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT UNPLUG UNIT. MOSQUITO MAGNET LIBERTY MUST REMAIN PLUGGED IN FOR 5 MINUTES AFTER SHUT
DOWN OR UNTIL FAN STOPS TO AVOID HEAT DAMAGE.
Any open octenol or other added attractant packages should be removed and discarded. The net should also be
discarded prior to storing the Mosquito Magnet Liberty.
STORAGE: Mosquito Magnet Liberty should be stored indoors in the off-season. Cover unit with trap cover (available
at www.mosquitomagnet.com) or with a tarp and secure tightly at the bottom to keep out dust, spider webs and
other debris.

TANK CHANGING TIP
When attaching the regulator handle to a tank after a tank change, be sure to fully tighten the regulator handle
onto the tank. No need to use tools, but do turn the handle as far as possible by hand. When this is done, loosen
the handle 1/4 turn, then re-tighten the handle. Frequently this action will result in additional turns beyond the 1/4
turn. The purpose for this is to fully engage the regulator onto the tank. If the regulator is not fully engaged, the
flow of gas may be restricted to the point where the trap will show a gas empty code. If this occurs, press the off
button, close the tank valve, and remove the regulator from the tank. Re-attach the regulator and try again.

Trap can be left running in the rain.
If using lime or lawn regenerative compounds, be sure to shut down the Mosquito
Magnet first to prevent dust or fine mist from being drawn into trap and clogging net.
A standard, outdoor rated extension cord may be used to increase your trap area.
Octenol cartridge does not disintegrate. Smell will dissipate over time.
Your trap will begin capturing immediately, but allow 4-6 weeks with trap running 24 hours/day to significantly
reduce the biting insect population and interrupt breeding cycle.
Should you experience an interruption of power, be sure to restart the trap.
Clear door must be tightly secured to maximize catch.
Never spray insecticide in or around trap.
Use of protective
eyewear is
recommended
QUICK-CLEAR VALVE
Recommended for use at first tank change, and every second tank change thereafter. Also recommended for use
before seasonal storage to avoid build up of contaminant’s during off-season.
The Quick-Clear valve is used to clear out propane contaminants in the fuel line, which may block the flow of
propane from the tank to your Mosquito Magnet. The Quick-Clear valve is a gold, threaded knob located on the back
of your trap. It should be used with the black and gold, L-shaped adapter included in the box with your Mosquito
Magnet, and a 12 gram threaded CO
2
cylinder available on our website at www.mosquitomagnet.com or your local
Mosquito Magnet Dealer.

Important: Extinguish all smoking materials prior to use of Quick-Clear Valve.
Do not stand directly behind cylinder during operation.
Shut down your Mosquito Magnet. Let fan run until it stops. (about 5 mins.)
Close the propane tank valve by turning to the “Off” position. (turn the tank valve clockwise)
Remove the protective cap from Quick-Clear valve on your trap.
Hand-screw gold end of L-shaped adapter on to Quick-Clear valve, until tight.
Hand-screw the CO2 cylinder into black end of L-shaped adapter clockwise until hand tight.
Unscrew CO2 cylinder 1/4 turn only in counter-clockwise direction. The flow of CO2 will begin, lasting approxi-
mately 3 minutes. Be sure to allow CO2 to run out completely. (hissing will stop when cylinder is empty. Note:
CO2 cylinder will be cold to the touch)
Continue unscrewing the CO2 cylinder to remove. Discard empty CO2 cylinder after use, it is not reusable or
re-fillable. (Use caution when removing CO2 cylinder, as some residual CO2 may come out at this time.)
Remove L-shaped adapter by unscrewing gold end clockwise. (Remember to KEEP the black and gold adapter
for future use!)
Replace Quick-Clear valve protective cap, and proceed with normal start up of your Mosquito Magnet.
If use of Quick-Clear valve feature does not resolve starting trouble, contact Tech Support 877-699-8727.
