SECTION 3 – EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Your new unit has been thoroughly packaged to avoid shipping damage. However, the
unit should be fully inspected upon arrival before signing for receipt. If the package has
visual damage, make notes accordingly on the freight bill and have it signed by the
delivery company. In the event of concealed damage after the unit is uncrated, keep the
carton and packaging material. Call the shipping company within 7 days of receipt,
request inspection and retain a copy of the inspection report.
For added convenience, your incubator was shipped with shelving and internal
components installed. Remove all foam protective pieces from both outside and inside
the incubator. Remove any tape holding components in position during shipping.
A boxed shipping kit is also included inside the incubator. The shipping kit includes a
user’s manual, electrical cord, gas connection tubing with filters, stacking adaptors with
hardware, and spare incubator hardware.
Choosing a Location
To ensure proper operation, you must locate the unit on a firm level surface, capable of
supporting approximately 250 pounds (500 pounds if stacked). The unit should be
located in an 18°C – 25°C ambient area and where there is no direct airflow from
heating and cooling ducts as well as out of direct sunlight. Allow four to six inches of
clearance on all sides of the product to allow for connections and airflow.
The unit requires a dedicated electrical connection and a regulated pressurized CO2
supply. Choose a location where these facilities are or can be made available.
Your incubators are designed to stack on top of each other to optimize floor space.
Stacking brackets are provided with each incubator to secure them together.
This product weighs approx. 250 pounds.
Ensure that sufficient resources are available to
safely move the product.
When moving your incubator, do not lift the unit
by the door handle or the outer door as
structural damage could occur.
