Adjust the trigger assembly left or right
until the trigger square stock is sitting on
the outside edge of the trip arm. Then
tighten the trigger assembly nuts with a
9/16” wrench.
Lightly tighten the bolt and nut on the
trip arm using a 1/2” wrench and socket
so the trip arm stays in the “up” position
without falling, but can still easily move.
Work the trip arm up and down onto the
latch to ensure there is no binding.
It is important the trip
arm stays in the “up” position without
falling. This step allows the use of both
hands to raise the gate.
Loosen the trigger assembly nuts with a
9/16” wrench.
The trigger is set at the factory and should not require
adjustment. However, follow these steps if the trigger needs adjustment.

8
Rotate the connecting rod and
clevis to this position. Work the
rod back & forth to ensure there is
no binding.
Never transport
the M.I.N.E.™ Gate with battery
inside the control box or severe
damage to electronics and battery
will occur. Remove battery during
transport and always disconnect
when not in use.
Push the 1/8” connecting rod
through the plastic clevis.
Slide the connecting rod through
the actuator hole inside the control
box.
Align the slots and gently snap
the clevis onto the actuator arm.

9
Place the control box onto the frame in
this position.
Secure the rod adapter with pliers. Turn
the set screw with a 3/32 Allen wrench to
break the Loctite®seal at threads.
Place the rod adapter through the
latch arm. Guide the connecting rod
through the rod adapter while sliding the
control box into place. See “Attaching
Connecting Rod to Latch” on next page
before tightening rod adapter.
Ensure the control box is tight against the
trigger assembly. Using a 3/8” nut driver
and drill, secure the control box to the
frame with four #14 self tapping, 3/4” long
screws.

10
Notice the actuator arm has more than one inch of travel. The actuator
arm and connecting rod is shown below fully “IN” and fully “OUT”.
Do not secure the rod to the latch with the connecting arm all the way
out or it will hit the bracket on the latch assembly when triggered. The
illustrations below show the proper setting on the right side of the
bracket. Using a 3/32 Allen wrench, turn the set screw inside the rod
adapter to secure the connecting rod to the latch.
Erect feeder and secure each leg with
a T-post and 11 gauge galvanized steel
wire. Following the steps of our “Capture
Success Matrix”, build an enclosure only
after the hogs trust the area as a food
source for multiple days in succession.

11
Carefully feed the antenna through
the rubber grommet without
damaging the receiver inside the
control box.
Feed the antenna wire through the
1/8” diameter antenna tube until it
clears the opposite end.
Slide the antenna tube into the
rubber grommet until it becomes
visible inside the control box. This
waterproof seal with help keep
electrical components clean and
dry during eld use.
The antenna wire in this position
rests between two horizontal gate
frames and will receive a wireless
signal from 250 meters (or 275
yards) when using the long range
transmitter.

1. The opening for the eight foot wide MINE™
gate should face the natural direction hogs
travel to the bait site. Drive a 7 foot long T-post
measuring 16 feet from the feeder. This will
become the left support post for the 8 foot wide
MINE gate (A).
2. Put the gate in position to measure and drive
the right support post (B).
3. Measure 16 feet from the rear of the feeder
and drive another 7 foot long post to form a 35
foot triangle. This triangle will begin the outside
dimension of the trap enclosure (C).
Secure 18-60™ Panels to posts in seconds using a drill and M.I.N.E.™
Post Clips. Standing inside the trap enclosure, install a post clip (11
gauge) around the post and panel (A). Insert a M.I.N.E.™ Clip Socket
onto the post clip (B). Press against the panel while drilling clockwise at
full speed (C).
Building and installing the enclosure requires at least
two people. Assembly and installation without the assistance of another
person may result in injury.

Trap shy adult hogs will not step over a threshold. Dig a two-inch trench
with a hand pick to conceal the bottom gate frame (A). Use a level to
ensure the drop gate remains square for smooth operation. Cover the
threshold with dirt and camouage to blend with surrounding area (B).
The panel joint at the gate support
post is the weakest link if not
secured properly.
Ensure the panel’s vertical 1/4”
steel rods are on the outside of the
enclosure (against the post) and
the horizontal steel rods are on the
inside.
Use the post lugs to lock the
vertical steel rod between the post
and gate support.
Pull these twists as tight as
possible and reinforce the
joint with six anchor points of
double stranded 11 gauge
galvanized steel wire or a
single strand of 9 gauge
galvanized steel wire.

14
Erect six each 18-60™ panels
in a circular shape around
the feeder. Each panel is 16
feet long with an eight inch
overlap.
Ensure all T-post lugs face inward to secure the panels from lifting up.
Posts should be driven in the center of each eight inch panel overlap.
Each post should secure the panel with at least four M.I.N.E.™ Post
Clips. The diagram (above right) shows the proper anchor points needed
for maximum strength.

15
Each post should secure the panel with at least four M.I.N.E.™ Post
Clips. The diagram (above right) shows the proper anchor points needed
for maximum strength.
This diagram illustrates
the proper order to drive
posts. Place the camera
on #23 and booster
antenna pole on #24
outside the enclosure
so these devices are not
damaged when hogs are
captured. Posts should
be driven every four feet
for maximum strength.
Ensure all T-post lugs face inward to secure the panels from lifting up.
Posts should be driven in line of a vertical support on single panels.

16
This diagram illustrates
the proper order to erect
the rigid panels. Start
at one side of gate and
position rigid trap panel
#1. Position panel #2 next
to panel #1. Secure panel
#2 to panel #1 using the
5’ long connecting stake.
Repeat steps to position
and secure all twelve
panels in a circular shape
around feeder.
Do not drive stakes into the ground until all twelve
trap panels are positioned. Drive all connecting stakes into the ground
with a sledge hammer.
Secure rigid trap panel to gate using the 5’ long connecting stake. Secure
panel #12 to gate using 5’ long connecting stake.
Ensure one-inch steel frames
are facing out and the 18-60™
panels are facing inside trap
enclosure.

17
Align the threads of the T-post mounting
bracket to the camera mounting port.
Tighten securely using the adjusting nut.
Mount the M.I.N.E.™ Camera to post #23
outside the enclosure according to the
page 13 diagram. Lower the square collar
at a diagonal over the post spine and
studs.
Lower the collar into position between
any two studs. Insert the mounting wedge
between the post spine and square collar.
Tighten the mounting wedge thumb screw
against the post spine to secure the
camera mount.
Align the camera by loosening the ball
head set screw and centering the view
on the ground beneath the feeder legs.
Tighten the ball head set screw to secure
the camera.
Thread bracket no more than three complete
rotations or it may damage the camera housing.

18
Mount the booster
antenna pole to post #24
outside the trap enclosure
according to the diagram
on page 14. The pole is 8
feet tall and telescopes to
16 feet.
Secure the booster
antenna cable to the
antenna pole with zip ties
to reduce wind noise.
Secure the booster
antenna cable to the post
with zip ties below the
camera antenna port to
prevent rainwater from
pooling on top of the
waterproof boot.
The long range transmitter frequencies are timed to the receiver during
assembly and quality control. Users may time transmitters to multiple
receivers to close more than one gate on a trap enclosure. Timing
the M.I.N.E.™ camera to the control box is covered in the M.I.N.E.™
camera’s Operations Manual.
Timing Steps:
1. Press and release the receiver
button (A) and the red light (B)
stays on.
2. Press and hold transmitter
button for 2 second until the light
on the transmitter turns on. The
receiver light (B) will ash three
times and shut off.
A B
Pressing and holding the receiver button (A) until
red light (B) blinks will clear sync memory.

19
Ensure the trip arm is in the fully
upright position. Raise the gate
with both hands. Hold the gate in
the fully raised position with the
left hand and lower the trip arm’s
striker into the latch with the right
hand. Ensure the latch is fully
closed by pressing the latch arm
upward.
Level the gate by checking the
distance at this location on both
sides. Slightly adjust if needed to
square the gate to frame. Stand
clear and press the transmitter
button for two seconds. The gate
should fall without binding.
CRUSH HAZARD: Drop gate can cause serious
injury or death. ALWAYS ensure that gate area is clear BEFORE testing
gate operation.

The trap enclosure is built with the gate opening 16 feet from the feeder.
This will leave approximately 20 feet of spin cast area without throwing
bait outside the enclosure. Below is an example using a JAGER PRO™
Dinner Bell™ feeder modication to prevent bait being thrown outside of
the trap enclosure. This step keeps bait at least 10 feet away from the
entrance, teaching hogs to trust the entire enclosure and ensures they
are too far away from the gate to escape when the gate is triggered. It
also produces a distinct sound which hogs will learn to associate with
daily feeding.
