Step 1
Install weights inside each half of the trap.

OTI recommends from 10 to 20 pounds per half, depending on fishing ground.  Lead or steel weights are easily secured to the trap with stainless steel strapping (banding).  Equal amount of weight in each half ensures proper balancing of the trap.

Step 2
Align the hinges and drive the hinge pins through the holes provided.

This is facilitated with a small head hammer.
