How to Set Up Your Fox Magnet
1
Your trap has a series of Spring Hinges that are pre-
installed. These Spring Hinges will hold the four panels
together.
2 First task in assembling your Fox Magnet is to insert the
Treadle Plate Arm into the slot at the front of the roof
panel. Push in between this section as shown.
3
Ensure that the Treadle Plate Arm sits in this position
before further steps are taken. Then fold the trap into a box
shape.

4 Your trap contains a pack of 10 heavy-duty Cable Ties. Once
you have folded the four sides together into a box shape,
attach three to four cable ties to secure the floor and fourth
panel together. Cut cable tie tabs off.
6 Insert the Front Door Panel into the
trap, ensuring that the four Lugs
enter the opposing four holes on the
front of the trap. Then inset the split
pins into the 4 Lug holes.
7 Insert the split pins into the lugs at
the front door. Then bend the split
pins inside the trap (up and down) to
ensure that this locks the doors in
place. This should solidify the trap
and limit movement when in use.
7 Your trap should now be assembled, solid and ready to go.

To set your Fox Magnet Trap, lift up the front door and
insert the Treadle Arm as shown. The Fox Magnet here is
shown ready for baiting (use fresh chicken pieces) in an
industrial area. The location of your trap is critical to its
success – here next to an industrial bin frequented by
Foxes.
