Fox Trap Assembly and setting instructions

Unpack and inspect the trap

Flat pack fox trap only, lift the panel's and temporarily make the cage to size, turn the cage so that it stands vertically on the open end, position the end panel and locate the five fixing tabs, fold these tabs and locate them in a mesh hole approximately one square from the end of the cage, fold the end of the tab through the hole, bend and pull it with a pair of pliers, fix the others in the same way ensuring the trap remains "square"

Turn the trap onto the end panel and locate the slide assembly, fit the slide assembly to the open end making sure the mesh fits inside the angle frame (pressure on the mesh panel's will help to get the mesh inside the angle of the slide assembly) and the slide guides are at the top of the trap ( the top can be identified by locating the setting bar that is clipped to the top panel of the cage on the RHS) Fit the clips onto the slide assembly and one by one clip these to the mesh one hole in from each side, these clips can be folded over using pliers to make the trap more rigid
. pull tag with pliers . fox trap door should look like this

Place the trap on the ground with the slide guides vertical, side the door into the guides, locate the setting bar and pull it so that the door rests on the setting bar at approximately the 1st hole in the bottom of the door, run the bait wire along the top of the cage and 6 inches from the end of the cage bring the bait hook through , attach suitable bait to the hook (kipper, half cooked bacon, mackerel etc) and firmly tie or wire the bait to the hook, wrap the bait wire round the bait to take up any slack, place the hook back around the wire to secure.

Open the door by pressing your booted foot against the door base and lifting the door up.

Please note the cage is not designed to transport the captured animal
