MAINTENANCE
DAILY
- Applicator Cups should be rinsed out with clean warm water to remove any hairs, dirt, etc. immediately
following completion of milking – this should avoid the build up of deposits and prevent chemical solidifying in
the gauze. If foam production becomes slow and/or difficult then the Foaming Applicator cup may be easily
dismantled (see fig. 6 below) for cleaning as follows:-
Unscrew the cup assembly (N) and remove from the end of the lance (P) by gripping the outside of the cup
and turning anti-clockwise.
Carefully lift off and retain the large O-ring (S), then lift out the 3 Filter Gauzes (T) from the cup/retainer (R)
at the end of the lance.
The gauzes may be cleaned by immersion in hot water and any stubborn material removed with a soft brush
before re-assembling in the cup with O-ring on top.
Fig. 6 – DISMANTLING FOAM APPLICATOR FOR CLEANING
Use ONLY a soft dry cloth to clean the electrical enclosure housing when necessary – NEVER use a hose. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard. Always disconnect the supply cord from the mains power supply BEFORE removing
the enclosure lid.
