DYNATRAP DT2000XL - Manual

INSTALLATION
1. Save carton for off-season storage (if needed).
2. If hanging the unit, place it approximately 3–6 feet above floor or ground for optimal catch-rate and easy access for cleaning.
Unit can also be placed on the floor or ground.
3. Plug cord into an outdoor outlet or UL listed extension cord as described in “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
4. Turn power switch to “ON” position. The switch is located under the upper housing near the light bulbs.
5. For best catch results leave unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
6. Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results, place unit away from other competing light sources.
7. It is recommended to place the unit at least 10 to 20 feet away from where people will be sitting.
8. This unit is all-weather resistant – designed for outdoor use including rainy conditions.
CLEANING
Clean the trap at least once a week to prolong life of the unit, insure fire prevention, and provide for more efficient operation.
1. Be sure to clean the unit once per week.
2. For weekly cleaning, remove the retaining cage by twisting clockwise and clean any build up from the inside of the trap with
a brush.
3. When replacing the retaining cage, DO NOT press or push against the screen windows.
REPLACING BULBS
Light bulbs life expectancy is approximately 3,000 hours (or about 4 months), and should be replaced alter that time has passed
in order to maintain optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb’s light may be visible to you, it’s ability to attract insects
diminishes over time.
1. Turn power switch to “OFF” position, UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulbs to cool before replacing.
2. Remove plastic cover that fits over the bulbs before removing the old bulbs (a screwdriver is required for this step).
3. Carefully turn bulb counterclockwise and then pull bulb straight out. Note: if you are unable to get the bulb cover off, unscrew
the 3 screws above the metal posts that are supporting the upper housing. Next pull the top part of the unit up, separating it
from the rest of the unit. Proceed to change the bulbs and replace the bulb cover. Place the upper housing back on the posts
and make sure that the housing is placed all the way down on the post. Replace the screws and your unit should be ready.
4. Locate and insert new bulbs into sockets, carefully turn clockwise, and make sure the prongs of the bulb are seated properly.
Replacement bulbs (6-watt fluorescent bulbs – part no. 32050) can be found at your local retailer or can be ordered directly from

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING, When using electric appliances, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
– To disconnect, turn all controls to the off (“O”) position, then remove plug from outlet.
– Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.
– To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put appliance in water or other liquid.
– This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts.
See instructions for Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances.
– Connect only to a circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED, CORD-CONNECTED APPLIANCES:
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided
on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing of a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to those parts in the appliance.

OWNER’S MANUAL
FLYING INSECT TRAP
MODEL: DT2000XL
Thank you for purchasing the
DYNATRAP ® XL flying insect trap!
TROUBLESHOOTING
TIO

COATED SURFACE
Flying insects are attracted to the unit by
the UV light and the CO
2
that is generated
by the photo-catalysis between the UV
lamps and the TiO
2
coating. The fan
pulls the insects into the retaining cage,
trapping them until they dehydrate and
die. The screened base can be removed,
so you can periodically empty the contents
into the trash. The screen allows you to
see what’s trapped in the compartment,
alerting you when the retaining cage
needs to be emptied.
