DANGER

General Safety Information

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or prop­erty damage. Read the instructions thoroughly
before installing or servicing this equipment.

WARNING

WARNING: For Outdoor Use Only

• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible,
odorless, and flammable.An odorant is normally added to help
detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The
odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable
by smell alone.

• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to
the lowest level possible. It can be ignited by ignition sources
including matches, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind
many feet away from the original leak. Use only propane gas set
up for vapor withdrawal.

• Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with local
ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Tur n off propane
when not in use.

• The propane tank must always be stored outdoors in a well venti­lated space. Never store propane tank in an enclosed area (house,
garage, etc.). If unit is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane
tank for outdoor storage.

WARNING

Combustion by-products produced when using this product contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.

• Mosquito Deleto

TM

System

TM

Trap lures mosquitoes to it by emitting
heat, carbon dioxide and a special mosquito attractant called
Octenol.

•

The irresistible combination attracts mosquitoes to the trap where
they are captured. . .never to bother you again!

•

This instruction manual will assist you in setting up your new
