8. Operating Instructions
The brooder is simple to operate because it only has one switch. To turn the unit ON, flip the switch
on back of the controls enclosure to the ON position. Likewise, to turn the unit OFF, flip the switch on
back of the controls enclosure to the OFF position.
If you have a thermostat connected to your brooder, (as shown in wiring diagram on last page of
manual) you will need to set your thermostat, then turn the brooder on. Remember, that once you turn
the brooder on, it may start at any time. If you must reach into the unit, please disconnect power for
your own safety.
