• 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
Blue Lights
under top cover 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 Mosquito Trap on. The Mosquito Trap will operate for 3 to 5 weeks continuously
capturing mosquitoes on a single tank of propane depending on environmental conditions.
