Figure A 2. To open collapsed Animal Trap, lift up the handle. The Trap will unfold into a long box. 3. Swing down the Cage Support Brace to frame the cage walls, and hook it to the Cage using the attached clips. See Figure B. Figure C 5. If the ground permits, press the Anchor Stake into the ground. The Stake will help prevent the trap from rolling and potentially injuring the animal. Do not put Trap on a wooden deck or any other surface that you do not want scratched. 6. To open the Trap Door: a. Pull up on the Upper Latch, and keep it out of the way. See Figure D. Figure B Page 4 1 Figure D For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. 2 Item 63008 b.

The Trigger Hook will keep the door open. See Figure G. 2 Figure E c. Pull the Door up. See Figure F. 3 Figure F Figure G 37. For a more sensitive setting (for smaller animals), hook the Trigger Hook onto the Bar using only the tip of the Hook. If needed, use a pair of pliers (not included) to bend the Trigger Hook accordingly. Note: For best results, the trap should spring at the slightest pressure on the Trigger Pan. Even heavier animals tread lightly in unfamiliar surroundings, so the Trigger Hook should be adjusted in such a way that it is held in place by friction alone. 8. Fine-tune and test the pressure setting by pressing gently on the Trigger Pan with a pencil or screwdriver. 9. Continue to make adjustments until a setting appropriate to the intended animal is found. 10. Put Bait between Trigger Pan and Back Door. Bait should be far enough from the Trap walls to prevent it from being reached from the outside. Do not put bait on Trigger Pan. Item 63008 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
