Introduction
These instructions outline the essential procedure for successful incubation of most domesticated species in the Octagon
10 incubator and Autoturn cradle (if supplied). Please read these instructions carefully before setting up your machine to
achieve best possible results and keep these instructions safe for future reference. For more information and for less
common species, a variety of books is available. However, note particularly that the temperature settings for the Octagon
10 differ slightly from those usually quoted for conventional forced draught and still air incubators.
