4 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 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. Handle Cage Support Brace (7) Handle Upper Latch (3) Trap Door (2) Clip Figure 2 Upper Latch (3) Figure 1 Trap Door (2) Turning Sleeve (5) Trigger Hook (4) Figure 3 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).

5 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. Turning Sleeve (5) Trigger Pan (6) Figure 4 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. Pencil Trigger Pan (6) Figure 5 8. After adjustment, place the appropriate bait for that animal on the Trigger Pan (6). SKU For technical questions, please call Page 5
