Solutions
1. Weigh tank and check against "empty" weight
written on tank.
2. Bring tank to filling location. Air may be in
fuel line. Ask for tank to be purged.
Hint: If you have another propane powered
device operating on a standard, 9 kg (20 lb)
propane tank, try hooking that tank up to the trap
to verify that the issue is with your tank.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and
reconnect. Then open the regulator valve slowly.
4. Verify all electrical connections. Make sure you are
using the correct power requirements for your unit.
5. Make sure regulator is fully engaged, and propane
tank valve is fully open.
1. Make sure the regulator is fully engaged, and
propane tank valve is fully open.
2. Go through above steps 1, 2 and 3.
3. See Tank Changing Tips section. Hand
tighten the propane tank regulator until
slightly snug.
1. Verify temperature is consistently above 50˚F (10˚C).
2. Follow steps in the "Trap Placement" section of
your owner's manual or go to
www.mosquitomagnet.com "Placement" section.
