Near a window exposed to direct, unshaded sunlight.
Remove the unit from the pallet and place the incubator in the working position, on a
level surface capable of bearing its weight (approximately 163 lbs./74 kg; actual use
weight will be heavier and will depend on the options installed and the material
stored in the incubator).
The incubator is designed so that one incubator can be safely stacked on top of
another identical unit. It is not possible to put any other type of incubator or heavy
apparatus on top, as the top cover is designed to support only the feet of another
model CO-150.
NOTE:
There is no need to remove the top panel for normal maintenance or
servicing, so the upper unit does not have to be moved when you are
servicing the lower unit.
2.5 Installing the Feet
To ensure adequate airflow for correct operation of the relative humidity control
system, the incubator feet
must be installed. More than one person is required to
perform this operation.
To insert the adjustable feet:
1. Make sure the locking nuts are installed onto each of the four feet provided.
2. Beginning with the front pair: tilt the incubator toward the back, and screw the
feet in, to the required depth.
3. Tilt the incubator forward to install the rear pair of feet.
4. Put an anti-slip pad (provided) on each foot.
2.6 Setting Up
Install the power cord:
1. Insert the power cord into its receptacle on the back of the unit (
see Figure 3 below) .
2. Press the cord firmly into its socket.
Install the wire shelf racks and shelves and level the incubator:
1. Each wire shelf rack has silicone suction cups that hold the rack in place. Place
one silicone suction cup onto the end of each of the wire rack supports (each
marked with an asterisk in
Figure 1a below). Be sure to install the suction cup
marked R as indicated in this illustration.
