PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This PestWest Mantis Uplight is made using
the highest quality materials. The bodywork
is sprayed with conformal polyester powder-
coated nish over a zintex (rust-resistant)
steel frame.
UNPACKING YOUR SYSTEM
Each Uplight Max 36 is carefully inspected
and packed before leaving our factory.
Before discarding the outer carton, examine
for obvious evidence of transport damage.
Remove the system and pay particular
attention to the removal of all packing
materials including any transit packing.
Including the release paper o the glue
board.
MODE OF OPERATION
The PestWest Mantis Uplight y trap operates
on the principal that most ying insects
are attracted to light, particularly to the
ultraviolet (UV) end of the light spectrum.
Since insects are still very active and will
y at night, traps should be left operating
continuously, i.e.: 24 hours a day.
FINDING THE BEST PLACEMENT FOR YOUR
MANTIS UPLIGHT MAX36
System ecacy can be aected by the
intensity of other light sources (overhead
lighting and daylight). Place or mount the
system where competition from other light
sources is minimal.
In food areas, place or mount close to, but not
directly over, exposed food or preparation
surfaces. Observe where ies tend to
congregate and/or y and then place or
mount your system close to that area.
Place or mount the system(s) adjacent to
y ingress point(s), such as service and/or
overhead doors and windows.
COVERAGE
Areas of attraction of ies/coverage are given
in the instructions for each system. Keep
in mind that the brighter the surrounding
indoor light and daylight, the greater the
number of systems needed for optimum y
attraction.
MAINTENANCE
To maintain the attractive appearance of the
systems, they should be cleaned/wiped down
as often as required. Use a cloth dampened
with water and detergent or a proprietary
cleaner. Do not use scouring pads or
abrasives.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment -grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal. Check with
a licensed electrician or serviceman if the
