Why should you use the Quick-Clear Valve?
Beginning in 2003, a new one-way Quick-Clear Valve was installed on all Mosquito Magnet® models. It is used to clear out propane contaminants in the fuel line that may build up and can block the flow of propane from the tank into the Mosquito Magnet®. These contaminants can clog the gas line in the Mosquito Magnet® and cause trap failure.
NOTE: The Quick-Clear Valve and Quick-Clear cartridge are for preventive maintenance only. The Quick-Clear Valve and Quick-Clear cartridge are NOT required for start-up or operation of the Mosquito Magnet®.
It is recommended that you use the Quick-Clear Valve before and after any prolonged storage period, at least every two propane changes, and if you have problems starting your Mosquito Magnet® or keeping the Mosquito Magnet® running.
It is recommended that you use the Quick-Clear Valve after the first propane change and then every two tank changes after that in order to keep any contaminants from building up in the fuel system of the Mosquito Magnet®. These contaminants may build up over time and clog the fuel system and cause trap failure. For additional maintenance, you can use the Quick-Clear Valve after every tank change, this will help prevent problems from happening. It is also recommended to use the Quick-Clear Valve before and after any prolonged storage period so that contaminants do not build up during that time.
