Introduction Welcome to the OcuTrap Setup Manual. This guide will walk you through the process of assembling your OcuTrap step by step. The setup process is divided into four main sections: Door, Handle, POD Setup, and App Setup

Carefully follow each step to ensure your OcuTrap functions correctly and efficiently

### Section 1: Door Setup

#### Step 1: Components Needed for Setup

Before beginning, ensure you have the following parts for the door assembly:

**Door**

* 2x Brackets (top locking mechanism)
* 2x Black spacers
* 2x Black capped nuts
* 1x Metal door
* 1x 12” Rod
* 1x Nut Driver
* 1x Nut Assembly Tool (figure right)

**Motor**

* 1x Motor
* 2x Pins&#x20;
* 2x Clevises

#### Step 2: Setup the Door Mechanism&#x20;

1. Align the metal door inside the trap.
2. Thread the metal rod through the oval slot in the metal bracket attached to the top of the solid metal trap door.<br>
3. On each end of the rod:
   1. Place a black spacer.
   2. Secure it with the black capped nut on both sides
   3. Use the nut assembly tool and the nut driver on each end to tighten the nut until snug.\ <br>

### Section 2: Handle Setup

#### Step 1: Gather Your Components

Before beginning, ensure you have the following parts for the handle setup:

<table><thead><tr><th width="113.140625">Quantity</th><th>Part</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>4</td><td>3” bolt</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>Handle Guard</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>Tube</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Washers</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Top Handle Metal Bracket</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Upper tube plastic spacer  </td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Lower tube Plastic Handle Spacer</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Internal Trap Bracket with Press-Fit Nut</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>Nut Driver</td></tr></tbody></table>
