 Instructions for Installing the Berkshire 110 Stabilizer Stakes

1. Remove the jaw rivet, on the trap, that is opposite of the spring. In most cases you can punch it out using a hammer and punch or it can be drilled out.

2. Place the stabilizer stake in the hole where the rivet was. Note: on some traps you may have to increase this hole a little by using a ¼ drill or round file.

3. Put the nut and tighten it so that there is still a little free play between the jaws. Remember, it will get tighter if the trap gets rusted. If you over tighten the nut, the jaws may not close when the trap is set off. Do not over tighten this nut.

4. Treat the trap with whatever type of dye you prefer
