How to check if the turning is working on my Brinsea Ovation 28/56 Incubator

Firstly, check all the egg carriers are in place correctly. Ensure the yellow link is sitting in the link slot and that the pegs on the carriers are sitting in the sockets in the side of the incubator and in the yellow link. If you push the yellow link 'left to right', the carriers will tilt. If they do not tilt, then either one may not be in correctly or the carriers are just too close together. 

Next, ensure that the turning motor in the lid of the incubator and the incubator lid itself are in the correct orientation. The egg turning motor must sit over the link. Check that the top fits flush all the way around the base edge.

Now check if the egg turning is switched on. If a ‘/’ symbol appears in the display, then the turning is switched on. If ‘O’ is displayed, then the turning is switched off. Please follow page 11 in the instructions for how to turn the turning back on. Also check the turning interval and see when it is meant to turn. 

Press the OK and  –  to force a turn. If the carriers tilt, then there is no reason why they should not do so automatically. Make a note of the position of the carriers and return just before to after you think they should have turned. One tip is if you have changed the turning interval setting it will complete one last cycle of the old settings before carrying out the new settings. 

If the force turn does not work - so it won’t turn automatically - or if the force turn did work but It doesn’t seem to be turning automatically please contact us here.
