1 Introduction

These instructions detail the operation of your new Octagon 20 Advance digital incubator and optional Autoturn

Cradle. Please read these instructions carefully before setting up your machine to achieve best results and keep

these instructions safe for future reference. This document includes recommended procedures for successful

hatching but incubation involves the control and manipulation of a large number of factors and in certain

circumstances different procedures may be necessary. Your incubator is designed to allow the user to vary the

incubation conditions to suit a wide range of species in different ambient conditions and the specific set-up for

every situation is beyond the scope of these instructions.

There is a range of books available covering incubation techniques, for more information or to request a book list

please don’t hesitate to contact us.

The Octagon 20 Advance incubator is available with the option of the Advance Humidity Pump for automatic

humidity control. Operating instructions for this module are supplied separately.
