2.3 Electrical Safety
• Only an authorized electrician must install the electrical power supply for
the milking robot
• Make sure the electrical grounding of the electrical system and all parts of
the milking robot meet the local rules and regulations
• Make sure all electrical switches are in the OFF position before you
switch on the electrical power supply
• Prevent damage by vermin
• Replace any damaged electrical lines, conduits, switches and
components immediately
• Isolate the electrical power supply at the master panel before you open
the electrical panel to work on the electrical system.
2.4 Chemical Safety
• The ASTRONAUT A4 uses chemicals for cleaning and disinfection
purposes. There is space in the central unit to store the jerry cans for the
chemicals (acids based liquid, alkaline based liquid and brush cleaner
liquid). The udder care drum must be stored away from the chemical jerry
cans, but within 5 m (16.4 ft) from the central unit.
• The stock of each chemical must be stored outside the robot control/
compressor room according to local rules and regulations. Contact your
local Lely service provider for more information.
• To prevent exchange of the chemicals , make sure the correct tube is
connected to the correct cleaning detergent can. Severe damage to the
live stock, human and parts of the robot can be done when chemical
products are exchanged.
• Each chemical has a color code. Each suck tube has a color
corresponding with the chemical. Each suck tube has a disk with the
name of the chemical.
• Read the safety instructions on the cans.
• Always wear protective gloves and safety goggles when you do work on
parts where a chemical product flow through.
• We always recommend to use the Lely Astri products for cleaning and
disinfection, as their use in the Lely system is proven and does not harm
or damage the Lely equipment.
• Do NOT use chlorine, or other acids than phosphor and citric acid
products in the cleaning system.
• Lely Industries N.V. is not liable for, and does not cover under warranty,
any damage or harm due to the use of other cleaning products not
meeting the Lely specifications.
• Do NOT mix up the chemical products when you replace the jerry cans.
• Use only the correct chemicals for a hot cleaning.
• The safety data sheets of the Lely products are available at
