Conibear (Body Trap) Setting Instructions
Conibear Setting Tools

For 120, 160, 220 and 330

Extend both springs so they point directly away from trap.  Hook notched ends of trap setting tool over eyes of either spring and compress.  Set safety hook to keep spring compressed.  Repeat for second spring.  

If a trap tool is not available, an 8-foot section of 1/4" inch rope can be used as shown.  Tie loop in one end of rope and thread other end through spring eyes.

Place foot through loop and pull other end of rope to compress springs.  

 

Center springs over hinge and pull frames together with one hand.  Keep them together with Conibear Safety Gripper if available.  

Position Trigger and dog at desired location along frame and then set trigger in preferred notch of dog.

Be sure trigger is secure within notch dog.  Place trap in desired location.  Then, keeping hands clear of trap frames, slowly release each safety hook and slide to coiled ends of clamp spring.  Release safety clamp if one is used.  Trap is now ready for use.  Make sure both safety hooks are released before leaving set trap.
