THE INCUBATOR SECTIONS
The incubator consists of five sections; the
dome assembly, the egg turning ring
assembly, the screen, the base plate and the
water fountain.
An efficient egg hatching machine is formed
when the five sections are properly mated
together.
The incubator is pre-assembled at the factory.

ASSEMBLING THE INCUBATOR
Assemble the turning ring. Remove the plastic
film from the strap. Hold the plastic strap with
notched side UP and insert the spokes of the
turning ring into the strap until it completely
surrounds the turning ring. Fasten the ring using
the brads and washers supplied, form the
assembly into a circle. Now mount the
thermometer/hygrometer assembly. To
assemble, carefully follow instructions attached
to your assembly packet. Units shown on this
page show the TX-6 carded thermometer/
hygrometer assembly.
Before the screen and turning ring are positioned
on the base, these two parts should be held
together with the wick through the center hole in
the screen and pulled out full length below. With
the screen and turning ring against each other
and the wick dangling below, place the assembly
on the base with the wick extending toward the
water fountain socket and laying through the two
slots in the water segments of the base. The
wick must extend in the base toward the fountain
in order to be wet immediately when water is
introduced into the first segment adjacent to the
fountain
Fit the four holes in the screen over the
extrusions on the base and press into place.
When the dome is set on the base, notice
that the screws through the wall engage in
slots in the top of the plastic turning ring strap.
These screws project inside through the dome
from the two knobs outside. Proper seating
of the screws in the turning ring strap will put
the dome in gear with the turning ring
assembly, and thereafter rotating the dome
on the base plate will cause the egg turning
ring to move also. See the drawing below.
When eggs are in the incubator, they will be
positioned between the spokes of the turning
frame and will be rolled over when the dome
is turned on the base. Rotating the dome from
the outside moves the egg turning ring inside
and turns the eggs over. This is another
advantage of the Turn-X system. . . to turn
the eggs without opening the incubator.
