Maintenance an calibration
The following points are important to sustain
correct dosing of etergents. Note that
these two tasks should be performed by an
authorised DeLaval service engineer.
• The tubes in the peristaltic pumps should
be replaced at least two times a year.
• The dosing volume (P6-P8) of the
detergent pumps should be checked
every third month. The dosing capacity
(P32-P34) may need to be adjusted.
Starting cleaning or rinsing
from the touch screen
Note: Any ongoing backflush process must
first be finished before cleaning or rinsing
can be started.
1. Ensure that the milking station is in
manual mode.
2. Remove any cow that might be in the
milking station.
After treatment window
Note: Both gates should be closed to
prevent a cow from entering before the
system cleaning has been started. Closing
and opening gates is done in the Stall
control window.
3. Press the tab After Treatment on the
touch screen to display the After treatment
window.
4. In the After treatment window, press the
Cleaning and Rinsing button. This will open
the Cleaning and rinsing window.
4.4 Reattaching a cluster
Note! Always check the udder to see if the animal
is milked out or if a reattach is necessary.
Note! When reattaching a cluster to an animal;
according to farm settings, different parameters
will be applied.
Note! If a cluster must be reattached near the exit
of a rotary parlour without retention bar it is nec-
essary to stop the platform rotation, reattach the
cluster, and manually position a chain behind the
animal for a second rotation.
1. Press the large button to release the clus-
ter.
Note! With comfort start there is no need to
push the button, vacuum is applied to the
cluster when it is lifted.
Note! If the animal is incorrectly blocked for
milking, see Ä Chapter 4.2 "Overriding a
blocking" on page 42.
2. Attach the cluster to the udder of the cow.
Note! Avoid that air enters the cluster
before the actual attachment.
Note! The 2
nd
pre-milking time, which is
active at a reattach, is shorter than the 1
st
pre-milking time.
