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.
The incubator is pre-assembled at the
factory.
This information is provided for reference.
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.
