1. BEFORE USE
Before using the incubator, it is recommended to study the Instruction Manual, especially the technical and safety data aspects, in order to
gain an understanding of the components and the potential operation of the machine.
MACHINE UNPACKING
Take the incubator out of its cardboard box and remove the internal components which are secured by the adhesive tape and check that
they are intact.
• 1 no. Instruction Book
• 1 no. kit thermometer & hygrometer °F (secured on the floor) + cases
• 1 no. plastic bottle 100 ml
• 1 no. water dispenser
• 1 no. mt. cotton wick (to cut down into 10/12 cmts pieces)
• 1 no. humidity basin (ref. MG 140/200) - 3 no. humidity basins (ref. MG 200/300)
• 4 no. tropicalized metal egg-trays for incubation
• 5/6 no. metal springs
• 1 no. hatching basket (ref.MG 140/200) – 1 no. hatching basket with perforated metal top (ref. MG 200/300)
• 1 no. safety fuse type 2A.
The incubator is supplied with a single phase electric cable (approx. 2 mt.) with a plug for the electric connection 230V, 50/60 HZ.
On the back of the machine, the data plate gives full details regarding the voltage and power requirements.
IMPORTANT: Remember to check thermometer and hygrometer are working correctly, examining that there are no breaks in the
line of alcohl.
POSITIONING, LACING AND PREPARATION
The area where the machine is placed, should be well ventilated and dry, at a constant temperature between 17-23 °C.
Place the incubator on a flat, level surface and near to an electric socket for easy access.
Use only the electric plugs supplied, with earth connection.
PLEASE NOTE: The manufacturer declines every responsibility in case of any improper use or improper placement, connection to any unau-
thorized apparatus or tampering from unauthorized personnel.
PREPARATION OF WET BULB HYGROMETER
In order to ensure an optimal and constant humidity control, fill the plastic water bottle with distilled water using the dispenser supplied. Next,
wet the wick and slide one end of the wick onto the hygrometer and the other end of the wick into the plastic bottle.
ATTENTION: if the water from the bottle is not soaked up by the wick correctly, the hygrometer will read the temperature and not the humidity
because the bulb is dry; so before inserting the wick immerse it well into the water.

It is important to remember that the ambient temperature and humidty conditions in the surrounding area can have an effect on the temperature and humidity inside the incubator. Care should be taken to ensure
that the incubation room is at a stable temperature between 17 and 23 degrees C and that ambient humidity is within normal limits.
