Getting Started Tips
Washing the Automatic Egg Turner CAUTION: Do Not place motor in dishwasher
Disassembly
Place complete Automatic Egg Turner (sold separately) on a flat
surface. Slide power cord horizontally to remove from notch in base.
Loosen two screws connecting the motor to base and remove. Slide
motor upward, releasing the white plastic lever from T-bracket of
connecting rod.
Turn connecting rod so offset arms rest in a horizontal position and
egg rails are vertical. Lift offset arm to release connecting rod from
notches.
Lift individual egg rails by offset arms while still in a horizontal
position from offset arm notch in base and pull slightly to release the
pin from the corresponding hole in the base. Repeat with all six trays
until you are left with an empty base.
Wash the egg rails and base by hand or in a dishwasher. Wipe the
motor clean. Do not submerge the motor or place in dishwasher.
Wash with soap. Use regular wash and dry cycle.
9500 Still Air Incubator
Features two 4" x 8" viewing windows,
digital temperature controller, heater,
and water channels built into the base.
Approximate capacity without 6300
Automatic Egg Turner is 46 chicken eggs,
118 quail eggs, 90 pheasant eggs or 40
turkey eggs.
10500 Circulated Air Incubator
All of the same features as the 9500 plus
an air circulating fan. Follow the same
operating instructions as the Model 9500
Still Air Incubator except where noted.
11500 Deluxe Incubator
The 10500 incubator, but includes
the 6300 egg turner.
12500 Circulated Air Incubator
(UL Certified) The same as the 10500
incubator, but UL certified.
An incubator warms the air around the eggs being hatched to a desired temperature. If the temperature in the area around the incubator is constant and
free of drafts, an incubator will need very few adjustments once set. Do Not use an incubator in a drafty environment. Humidity levels will vary depending
on the season and the region where the incubator is being used. An incubator should be monitored regularly while in use. Refer to your local library,
consult a local college or university agriculture department or the internet for hatching guidelines specific to the type of eggs you plan to incubate.

Assembly
Select one of the six egg rails and attach the position cover to the
egg rail location nearest the offset arm end by inserting the circular
pins on the position cover into the aligning holes on the egg rail
(large egg rails only). Once in place, press cover firmly into holes.
Attach egg rail with cover to the motor end of the base. The motor
location is recognizable by the two holes in the extended plastic
end. Holding the egg rail vertical, with the offset arm in a horizontal
position, insert the round pin on the end of the rail into the
corresponding hole in the base. With the egg rail still vertical rotate
the egg rail downwards so the offset arm end pivot slides into the
corresponding notch in the base. Repeat with remaining five rails
until all six are aligned with the base.
Once all egg rails are in the base, keep all egg rails vertical and offset
arms in a horizontal position. Bring the connecting rod into position
by holding it parallel to the base and slightly above the offset arms.
The T-shaped end of the connecting rod should align with the
motor location.
Read Instructions Thoroughly Before Use
6302 Quail Rails

included with the 6300 Automatic
Egg Turner. These rails are specifically
designed for quail and other small eggs.
120 egg capacity. SOLD SEPARATELY.
How an Incubator Works
Troubleshooting Tips for Incubator Use
Possible Cause / Recommended Solution
The unit may not be plugged in, or there may not be power to the outlet in which it is plugged.
Check to be sure that both ends of the power cord are plugged in.
Erratic power source or loose wire. Check to be sure that both ends of the power cord are plugged in.
The room may be too cold or drafty. Be sure the room in which the incubator is used has a consistent
ambient temperate between 65º - 72ºF, and the incubator is not located near any drafts.
The temperature sensor is not plugged into the temperature controller.
The room may be excessively dry. Add water to the water channels. Add a damp sponge if necessary
to increase moisture.
Replace any previously removed vent plugs (see How To Use Your Little Giant Incubator & Accessories
- steps 4 and 7)
Lower the connecting rod so each egg rail offset arm slips into place
into the corresponding notch in the connecting rod.
Carefully rotate the six egg rails while holding the offset arms in the
notches in the base and connecting rod until all offset arms are in a
vertical position and the egg rails are level. Place flat object (book
or magazine) on the level egg rails to retain position for motor
installation.
Slide the white plastic lever on the side reverse of the power cord
on the motor down into the T-shaped bracket at the end of the
connecting rod. When in place, the two holes at the base of the
motor should align directly with the two holes in the projecting
plastic of the base. Insert two screws through the frame and tighten
into holes in motor flange to secure.
Line up the power cord exiting the motor with the side of base that
has a notch molded in it. Find the larger groove in power cord and
slide into the notch in the base.
7300 Heater with Air Circulating Fan Kit
Converts the 9500 Still Air Incubator into
a Circulated Air Incubator. Helps improve
hatch conditions by circulating a constant
flow of warm air. SOLD SEPARATELY.
IMPORTANT: The 7300 heater and fan kit is
12 volts and compatible with the new series
of 9500 and 10500 digital incubators.
6300 Automatic Egg Turner
Features motorized egg turner with six
large egg rails holding up to seven eggs
each. Safely turns eggs to prevent the yolk
from settling to one side and to exercise
the embryo. This eliminates turning the
eggs by hand. The Automatic Egg Turner
fits the 9500, 10500, 11500 and 12500
incubators. Turkey eggs will not fit in the
Automatic Egg Turner. SOLD SEPARATELY.
