innovators in agriculture
• Before the pneumatic pressure is supplied to the milking robot, make
sure all parts are tight and that all hoses and fittings are in good
condition
• Do not enter the operating area of the robot arm
• Do not block the robot arm. It can move with sufficient force to cause
injury to you and/or the cow
• Do not help the milking robot from the control area when it is
attaching the teat cups to the cow
• Always be alert for unexpected movement of the cow. Cows can
transmit large forces to parts of the machine
• Do not look directly into the laser light of the sTDS
• Keep the working area as clean and as dry as possible
• Contact your nearest Lely service provider if you have any questions
• Review safety related items with all operators frequently (annually).
2.3.5 Maintenance Safety
• Read and understand the applicable manual and all safety signs
before you connect power supplies to operate, maintain or adjust the
milking robot
• Only trained persons are permitted to maintain the milking robot
• SWITCH OFF the milking robot, disconnect and isolate the electrical
power supply, release pneumatic pressure and wait for all moving
parts to stop before you do work on the milking robot
• Take extreme care when you work near or with high-pressure
pneumatic systems. If possible, depressurize the system before you do
work on it
• Wear protective clothing and safety goggles when you do work on
the pneumatic system
• Wear protective gloves and safety goggles when you do work on
parts where disinfective and cleaning fluids flow through
• Make sure all covers and guards are installed when maintenance
work is complete.
