The provisions of this warranty shall not apply to any insect killer which has been subject to misuse, neglect or accident, nor which is used for a purpose for which it is not designed, or which shall have been repaired or altered in any way as to adversely affect its performance and reliability.

OPERATION • INSTALLATION • PARTS LIST
GENERAL:
Your new Diplomat insect killer combines 120 watts of black light energy with an exclusive glo-tube reflector, resulting in a powerful insect killing device that is ecologically safe, effective and economical
o use. Light sensitive flying insect pests are attracted to the unit and
t
are immediately eliminated as they pass through the electrically
charged inner killing grid system. Dead insects drop into the removable insect collection tray for fast, easy, sanitary disposal.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions before using the Flowtron Electronic Insect Killer and keep for future reference.
Included with your Diplomat insect killer is a special slow-release
strip containing Flowtron’s Fly Sex Lure, a proven attractant for the
common house fly (musca domestica L.). This pheromone sex lure
erves to enhance the Diplomat’s effectiveness in eliminating house
s
flies, making it a capable, dedicated fly control device.
