CAUTION
Cleaning with a cleaning agent (Astri®-L) at a temperature of more than 40 °C
(104 °F) may cause equipment damage.
The teat cup tops are cleaned and the installation is rinsed with cold or lukewarm water (and Astri®-L cleaning
agent, if necessary). During this cleaning the air bleed holes in the teat cup are rinsed as well. At the end of the
rinsing, the long milk tubes are sucked empty one by one. The water is discharged via the milking robot
discharge system.

different robots starts simultaneously.
