If using the Autoturn cradle: Assemble the Autoturn cradle in accordance with the diagram below (Fig. 2)
and place on a flat, level surface (workbench height is ideal). Place the incubator into the Autoturn cradle
as illustrated (Fig. 1). The cabinet is designed to locate onto the lugs at either end of the Autoturn cradle.
Take care to offer the incubator at the angle which matches that of the drive lug to avoid damage to the
mechanism. Ensure full engagement in the slots in the ends of the incubator so that the incubator is level
end to end.

If using without the Autoturn cradle place the incubator upright on a flat level surface.

4.6 

Remove the lid, lift out the egg tray and fill one of the two water channels with water or 100:1 Brinsea
Incubation Disinfectant Solution leaving the top of the liquid 3/4” (20mm) from the top of the channel.
Replace the tray and replace the lid. Slide the ventilation control to the centre of its range.

4.7 

Plug incubator and cradle mains supply cables into suitable outlets ensuring that the cables are not pulled
tight. The incubator fan will start, the buzzer sound and the LCD display on the temperature control
housing will display the air temperature and humidity. The cradle motor will start and the incubator will
begin to turn. The turning is very slow – taking about half an hour to turn each way.

4.8 

Allow the incubator to run for at least an hour to stabilise the temperature before making adjustments or
setting eggs.

The Octagon 20 Advance control system utilises highly accurate, individually calibrated sensors for temperature
and humidity. Be cautious of low cost analogue or digital thermometers and hygrometers when comparing them
with the incubator display readings.
