7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 Introduction
This chapter contains the preventive maintenance procedures for the
ASTRONAUT A3 Next Milking Robot done by the operator of the milking
robot. The procedures are based on the maintenance schedule (farmer),
as shown in the next chapter.
The preventive maintenance schedule contains the tasks that must be
done to an ASTRONAUT A3 Next Milking Robot.
The structure of this chapter is as follows:
• Introduction
• Maintenance schedule (farmer)
• Covers and doors procedures
• Box procedures
• Feeding system procedures
• Robot arm system procedures
• Milking system procedures
• Milk transport system procedures
• Cleaning system procedures
• Support system procedures
• Control system procedures.
Each procedure contains all the necessary information to complete the
task. Therefore, if you do maintenance on more than one part, you may
repeat steps that you have done on a previous part.
Read and understand all procedures for the applicable visit before you
start. This will enable you to identify tasks that can be done only once
(for example: put the milking robot out of operation, open the multiple
function box).
