Electronic Insect Killer
Installation, Operation & Instructions for Models BK-15D, BK-40D, BK-80D
General Information
Your Flowtron Electronic Insect Killer attracts light sensitivey i n g
insects with its high intensity ultraviolet light and its unique OCTENOL
slow release lure. As insects fly toward the light, they pass through a
patented vertical rod killing grid and are destroyed cleanly and efc i e n t-
ly without the use of chemical fogs or sprays.
Installation
1 . Unpack the insect killer. Save the carton and fillers. Use them for
storage during off-season months.
2 . Choose a sturdy mounting device from which to hang the unit. If
permanent installation is desired, check your local electrical codes
and see a professional electrician.
3 . Hang the insect killer at a height of six to eight feet above the
ground.
4 . Place the unit 25 away from the area intended for human activity.
Position the insect killer between the source of insects (woods,
lowlands, etc.) and the area to be protected.
5 . Plug cord into a compatible extension cord
rated for outdoor use. The bulb(s) will emit a bluish glow within a few
seconds.

Octenol Mosquito Attractant
U.S. Government and university researchers have demonstrated that
octenol, a component of respiration, is effective in attracting many
species of mosquitoes and biting flies. Your Flowtron insect killer uses
an exclusive slow-release Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge (MA-
1000) which increases the effectiveness of the
insect killer to lure mosquitoes and biting flies
into its killing grid.
1. Directions for Use:
Remove the octenol cartridge from the sealed pouch and peel the
protective cover from the face of the cartridge. Avoid touching the
openings in the cartridge and always wash
your hands thoroughly after contact.
2. Installation:
Remove the double face tape from the
pouch and peel the backing paper off one
side of the tape. Press the tape to the
bottom of the cartridge, (side opposite the
openings).
Peel the backing paper from the other side of the tape and press
the cartridge firmly into the bulb retainer at the bottom of the enclo-
sure (see illustration).
3. Operation:
When your insect killer is on it will provide the heat and convective
air flow to vaporize the lure and disperse it at the proper rate per
hour for maximum effectivity. For best results replace the cartridge
every 30 days.
