10. AFTER SETTING, CHECK THE TRAP AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY. Caged animals

may be suffering from stress or cause harm to themselves and should be treated

humanely.

trap if you keep one end of the trap shut.

12. USE A STICK OR PENCIL TO TEST THE TRIGGER PAN.

13. STAY ALERT. WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE

WHEN OPERATING THE ANIMAL TRAP. Do not operate the Animal Trap while tired

or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating Animal Trap may result in serious personal injury.

14. DRESS PROPERLY. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY. CON-

TAIN LONG HAIR. KEEP YOUR HAIR, CLOTHING, AND GLOVES AWAY FROM

MOVING PARTS. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

15. WEAR ANSI-APPROVED SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN SETTING UP THE ANIMAL

TRAP. Don’t assemble if using drugs or alcohol.

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-

stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The Animal Trap comes collapsed and is ready for transport or storage. It is a strong,

durable steel wire cage. See Figure 1.

2. Open collapsed Animal Trap by lifting Trap by handle. The Trap will take on a square

shape. Swing down the Cage Support Brace (7) and attach it to the Cage (1) using the

clips on each side. See Figure 2.

3. Open the Front Spring Powered Trap Door (2) while pressing the Upper Latch (3). Hold

the Trap Door (2) open (assistance may be required). Hook the Trigger Hook (4) on the

Turning Sleeve (5). See Figure 3.

4. The Trigger Hook (4) will keep the door open. If you want both doors open, repeat these

steps on the rear Trap Door (2). See Figures 2 & 3.

5. For a “COARSE SETTING”, adjust the Trigger’s sensitivity by adjusting the Trigger

Hook (4) all the way, as far as it goes, under the Turning Sleeve (5). See Figure 3 on

page 4 and Figure 4 below. A heavier amount of weight on the Trigger Pan (6) will

be required to pull the Trigger Hook (4) off the Turning Sleeve (5), releasing the Front

Door.

6. For a more “SENSITIVE SETTING”, hook the Trigger Hook (6) on the Turning Sleeve

(5) only with the TIP of the Hook. The weight of a lightweight animal will pull the Trigger

Hook off the Turning Sleeve, thus releasing the front or back Trap Door (2).

7. A pair of pliers (not provided) can reshape the Trigger Hook (6) for any ﬁne adjustment

you may need. Practicing the settings of the Trigger with a pencil or screwdriver (not

provided) on the Trigger Pan (6) and how much pressure is needed for releasing of the

front and/or back Door (2), should give you the desired setting you will need for the

animal you plan to catch. See Figure 5.

8. After adjustment, place the appropriate bait for that animal on the Trigger Pan (6).
