MAINTENANCE

1. Check the catch on a regular basis. Start by checking the trap twice a week and adjust according to the
catch. Use only clean water to rinse the catch, do not use any chemical or soap as the fragrance may
repel mosquitoes from the trap. In many cases, the large amount of airflow through the catch, grinds
captured mosquitoes against the metal mesh, breaking them into small pieces, which are then blown
through the screen.
2. Refill the propane tank, as necessary when using continuously. Turn off the gas valve and disconnect
the regulator hose from the tank. Replace the tank and reconnect the hose.
3. Keep the area around the Bite Shield™ Cordless Guardian clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and any other flammable vapors and liquids.
4. Keep the propane tank enclosure area free and clear from debris.
5. Clean the unit outside surface with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do not spray with or immerse
any part in water.
6. Replacement parts (Regulator with hose, Catch) are available from Koolatron, Inc.
7. Store the unit in a cool dry place when not in use and AWAY FROM ANY CHEMICALS.
Step 4
If you don't see the red light on, turn off the gas tank valve,
wait 60 seconds and re-start following steps 1 to 5. If you
still don't see the red light, contact an authorized service
personnel. Do not attempt to disassemble and/or repair the
