Mosquito Magnet offers devices that combine a lure using CO2 gas, heat and a vacuum to catch mosquitoes. The machine uses both electricity and propane gas tanks during use. Cleaning the Mosquito Magnet should be completed prior to the season and then as necessary during the season. Carbon can build up within the machine and periodically needs to be cleaned out of the machine to keep it running smoothly. Cleaning out the carbon is an easy process. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Unplug the Mosquito Magnet from electrical sources and from the propane tank. If the unit has been running for some time, allow the machine to cool completely. The ignitor and burner may stay hot for some time.
2. Remove the lid to the Mosquito Magnet using a screwdriver and wrenches to remove the screws and bolts holding it in place.
3. Remove the burner from the Mosquito Magnet. The burner is the silver-colored metal block on one side of the machine. Disconnect all wiring connected to the burner and use a screwdriver and wrenches to remove the burner.
4. Use an air compressor to clean out the air intake areas on the burner. The air intakes will be above the miffler fan. Each Mosquito Magnet model's air intake holes are in slightly different locations. It should be on the top or near the top of the burner.
5. Split the burner in two using the screwdriver. Clean out the catalytic converter using the compressed air and brush to knock off and remove the buildup of carbon on these sections.
6. Clean the nozzle that leads into the combustion chamber. Soak the nozzle in acetone and use the air compressor to blow away any buildup. Do not use the brush or try to insert anything into the nozzle tip to clean it. It can be easily damaged.
7. Add sealant where the old sealant had been. You will be able to see where the old sealant was because it turns black over time. Only place the sealant in these locations.
8. Reassemble the burner.
