STARTING (cont...)
IMPORTANT
• Once the flame starts, stop pressing the red igniter button but continue to hold the valve
(silver) safety button in for 30 additional seconds after the initial ignition. Then release
valve safety button.
• Your MK-14 is equipped with a Safety Tilt Switch, which shuts off the gas flow if the
unit is tilted more than 10° from horizontal ground. Make sure your unit is positioned in
leveled ground as much as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to get the unit to
operate continuously.
WARNING
If the unit does not light within approximately 10 seconds, release the gas button and
always wait 60 seconds between lighting attempts to allow un-burnt gas to dissipate.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 if the burner goes out. There is a safety device that must warm
up enough to allow gas to the burner after the safety button is released. (No longer
pushed in). Note - When installing a new or refilled propane tank, it may take up to 30
seconds for the gas to reach the burner.
Step 5
After the flame is established and you have released all the buttons, watch the trap for
another 3-5 minutes until you see the blue lights emitting from under the top cover. This
indicates that the unit is in standard operating mode now. Make sure that the blue lights
stay on for at least 2-3 minutes before you leave the trap unattended. This would confirm
that the unit is functioning properly. If you don't see blue lights 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 blue
light, contact an authorized service personnel. Do not attempt to disassemble and/or
repair the unit yourself.
Step 6
Leave the unit on. It will operate for 4 to 6 weeks continuously capturing mosquitoes on a
single tank of propane depending on environmental conditions.
