incubator onto a Galaxy 170
This option can be ordered (P0628-7770) in addition to the upper stacking frame to allow any pre-2000
Galaxy, Innova or Excella incubator to be stacked on top of a Galaxy 170 (or Galaxy Plus) incubator. The
upper stacking frame comes fitted with two extra channels to accommodate the feet positions of the older
incubators; one strengthening channel on the underside of the plate adds rigidity.
1. Remove the two front bolts securing the channel section and loosen the two back bolts (see Figure
below). Retain the two front bolts for use in step 2.

2. Rotate the channel sections as shown below to allow the plate to be attached to the bottom incubator.
Once the plate is fitted, fix the channel sections back into position using the bolts removed in step 1.
Easier access can be gained by opening the incubator door. Ensure that all nuts and washers are
replaced and that all bolts are tightened securely.
WARNING! Personnel injury and equipment damage!
 Great care should be taken when moving the stacked incubators. Hazards, including
uneven surfaces and obstructions, may cause the stacked assembly to topple, potentially
injuring personnel.
CAUTION! Personnel injury and equipment damage!
 Four people are required to safely lift a Galaxy 170 incubator.
 When lifting, be sure to use the lifting handles provided with the incubator.
 NEVER lift the incubator by the door as this may cause damage.
