FAQs
Does this reaper include batteries?
No, the Hanging Reaper requires 3 x AA batteries which must be purchased separately.
Can I use this decoration outside?
It is designed primarily for indoor use. If used outside, it must be in a fully covered, dry area protected from rain and moisture.
How do I turn the sound effects off while keeping the movement on?
The animatronics and sound effects are synced to the same trigger; they cannot be operated independently.
Is the reaper heavy to hang?
No, it is designed to be lightweight and can be hung easily using standard hooks, string, or clear fishing line.
What is the best way to clean the fabric?
Use a light feather duster or a soft dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid liquid cleaners as they can damage the internal motor and electronics.
Troubleshooting
The unit is not reacting to sound.
Ensure the power switch is in the ON position and verify that the batteries are fresh and inserted with the correct polarity.
The movement is jerky or the sound is distorted.
This is often a sign of low battery voltage. Replace all three AA batteries with a new set.
The sensor triggers too often.
Relocate the reaper away from loud appliances, fans, or high-wind areas that may be inadvertently triggering the microphone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Hanging Reaper is straightforward. Insert 3 x AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment, which is typically found within the torso area of the prop. Once the batteries are inserted, toggle the power switch to the 'ON' position. To ensure longevity, always remove the batteries when the prop is being stored for long periods to prevent corrosion. The fabric should be kept dry at all times; use a soft, dry brush to remove dust. Do not submerge the animatronic components in water or use harsh chemical cleaners on the plastic housing.
