Need help with David Bradley incubator

I just setup this David Bradley wood cabinet incubator that my neighbor gave me yesterday at 7:00 and it has been holding 99.5-100 degrees but the wet monitor and water canister was not in there so I'm working on that part but I am not sure how to use the manual egg turners.  It looks like you pull the metal sleeves on bottom of the drawers and it slides the wires bottom and the eggs meet with the metal bar in the tray and it turns them.  Any help explaining what to watch out for or how to use this thing would be very appreciated.  I have private messaged someone that may possibly have a manual to a incubator similar to this incubator but I hope to add eggs tonight if I can get some information on this incubator.

 

Thanks in advance!

Could you take pictures? I would like to help. If I could see about 3 pictures of the outside, and a few of the inside, I would enjoy helping you!

Most egg shelves, or egg turner racks need trays for them.
