3.5 Installing the Duct Sheets (Refer to Figure 3-1)
Note: The left duct sheet has large notches in both top and bottom edges. The right
duct sheet has a single notch in the top edge only.
 Carefully put the right duct sheet into the incubator chamber with the flanges toward
the wall.
 Put the left duct sheet into the chamber, with the square notch at the top and the
flanges toward the wall. Allow the top of the left-side duct sheet to lie diagonally
across the chamber, resting upon the right-side duct sheet.
 Hook the top channel into the top opening of the right duct sheet. The top channel
must be positioned so that the brass CO
2
sample tube (mounted in the ceiling of the
incubator) is aligned with the notched out area on the right rear side of the top
channel. The round opening will align with the blower wheel when it is slid into
place.
 While supporting the blower channel, slide the left duct sheet up until it is vertical,
making sure that the blower channel lines up into the slot on both duct sheets.
 Turn cam latch to a vertical position (up against bottom side of top channel) to
secure. If duct sheets appear to be too tight or too loose, upon installation, the cam
latch assembly may be re-positioned up or down one hole for proper alignment.
3.6 Installing the Shelves
The shelves may be placed at any level in the chamber. Slide the shelf into the shelf
bracket at the desired level.
3.7 Leveling
Check the level of the unit by placing a bubble-type gauge on one of the shelves. Turn
the hex nut located on the leveling leg clockwise to lengthen the leveling leg, or raise the
unit. Turning the hex nut counterclockwise will shorten the leg, or lower the unit. Be sure
to level the incubator before filling the water jacket.
To prevent injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment,
lock inner glass door and secure outer door before tipping unit to
adjust leveling feet. Do not attempt to tilt the incubator without
assistance while adjusting the leveling feet.
