1. Select a suitable place to install the ZIP Bait Tunnel, away from possible puddles or flood zones. Clear vegetation at either end to maximise the chance that target animals will enter the tunnel.
2. Secure one of the tunnel sections to the ground, forming the base of the tunnel. Use the two 200mm TEK screws. You can use any two of the four holes shown below.
Note: Tunnel sections are identical.
3. Place the bait cup into the centre of the lower tunnel section. In the right position the bait cup will sit above the base of the tunnel, meaning that the bait will remain dry if water enters the tunnel.
4. Place bait into the bait cup.
5. Prepare the second tunnel section, which will form the ‘lid’ of the tunnel. Place the O-ring in the central recess, as pictured. This will help to maintain a waterproof seal.
6. Place the saddle blank onto the tunnel lid. Ensure the receptors for the TEK screws are over the holes, as pictured.
7. Attach the saddle blank to the tunnel lid by turning the tunnel piece over. Attach the two 25mm TEK screws with neoprene washers from the inside of the lid. Ensure that the O-ring remains within the recess.
8. Turning the tunnel piece over, further secure the saddle blank to the tunnel lid using two of the 50mm TEK screws with neoprene washers.
9. Put lid on base
10. Attach the tunnel lid to the tunnel base by inserting the remaining 50mm TEK screws with neoprene washers into the four corners.
To check and/or replace bait, you will need to remove the four corner screws.
