Teksupply HOVA-BATOR 1602N THERMAL AIR User manual
An Incubator is designed to bring normal room temperature to the desired temperature. Room temperture of 60°F. or below will reduce the temperature
in the incubator. Room temperature change of 10°F. or more will change temperature in incubator & is more pronounced below a temperature of
70°F. The location of the machine is important to successful operation. A room temperature from 70° to 80°F. is ideal, and fresh air without drafts is
necessary. Be sure no direct sunlight strikes the incubator and that it sets level. A consistant room temperature within a few degrees is best.
NOTE: It is recommended that you operate the incubator with a small quantity of
inexpensive eggs to be assured of your operating procedure and the performance of

THERMOSTAT SETUP
Re-tighten wing nut
to secure the setting.
The light will come on
when the heat
is on. Adjust
the temperature
for 100oF. for most
eggs. Allow the
incubator to operate
for at least ½ day to
stabilize the setting
before putting in eggs.
Loosen Wing Nut to
make adjustments.
Turn adjusting screw
counterclockwise to
raise temperature &
clockwise to lower.
Thread wing nut onto

Thread adjusting screw
assembly into slot until
enough of shaft is visible
on inside of incubator to
accept wafer.
Thread wafer onto adjusing
screw till it stops, then
with incubator plugged

Many clear eggs. No blood rings. (determined by
candling or opening eggs)
1. Infertility
2. Eggs too old or too dirty to set.
3.
Embryo died early. Either before
incubation or
1 to 2 days after.
1. No males or too few.
2. Eggs should be no older than 14 days.
3. Rough handling and/or temperature extremes
before or just after setting.
Slight blood rings in most eggs. 1. Improper temperature before or just after
setting.
2. Improper handling.
1. Eggs to be stored small end down with room
temperature 60 to 80 F.
2. Check for temperature spikes in incubator.
Many dead immature chicks. 1. Improper temperature in the incubator.
2. Improper or lack of turning of eggs.
1. Check temperature settings and adjust for
next hatch.
2. Eggs to be turned at least once a day (multiple
times better).
3. Full ventilation may be required at higher
Many chicks fully formed in shells with only some
hatching or piping 1 or more days early
1. Incubator setting is too warm (1/2 to 1-1/2 F).
1. Reduce setting slightly for next hatch on the
same thermometer in the same location.
Many chicks fully formed in shells with only some
hatching or piping 1 or more days late.
1. Incubator setting is too cool (1/2 to 1-1/2 F).
1. Increase setting slightly for next hatch on the
same thermometer in the same location.
Many chicks fully formed in shells with only some
hatching or piping on the expected
hatch date.
1. h umidity incorrect in the incubator.
2. Incubator door opened too frequently during
hatch
1. Check air sack of eggs. If too large, increase
humidity. If too small, decrease humidity.
2. For precise humidity use gram scale to
determine proper weight loss. Many eggs
require 13% loss.
Chicks fully formed but none hatched or piped. 1. Temperature setting too extreme.
2. Sudden and prolonged temperature change at
time of hatch.
1. Check accuracy of thermostat and thermometer.
2. Check operator procedure for type of eggs.
3. Check to see vents are not completely closed.
