Shutdown and recommissioning 87
8.2 Recommissioning
8.2.1 Recommissioning after temporary shutdown
Proceed as follows to recommission the automatic feeder:
1. Remove the protective covers from the automatic feeder.
2. Clean the outside of the automatic feeder with a damp cloth.
3. Install the safety grid for the powder hopper attachment. Screw the screws back into the
holes provided. The safety grid for the powder hopper attachment prevents you from being
injured by the rotating tools in the powder hopper, for example, when adding milk powder.
4. Connect the water connector of the automatic feeder to the water tank using a clean new
water hose.
5. Proceed as follows to restore the cleaning agent supply (optional) to service.
6. Install a new teat.
7. Connect the teat to the feeding box valve (rationed mode) or the mixer beaker (ad lib mode).
Use a new hose for this connection.
NOTICE!
The hose must be installed at a gradient to the automatic feeder without sagging.
This makes it easier for calves to consume feed and makes it easier to drain the hose (see the
illustration).

8. Connect the mixer drain valve to the drain channel. Use a new hose for this connection.
9. Remove the dummy plugs for the Ethernet Cable and replace them with a grommet.
