Care/maintenance interval

daily

3-mo.

if required

Check the suction hoses for deposits.

The suction hoses must be regularly checked for deposits. If you 
detect some deposits: 1. Select „suction hose cleaning“. 2. Start the 
cleaning cycle. 3. If after the cleaning process deposits are still visi-
ble in the suction hoses, you should manually clean the suction 
hoses (e.g. by means of a 

cleaning pistol). 4. If even this does not 

yield the desired result, replace the hoses. The suction hoses can 
also be cleaned continuously.

Cleaning cycle

Sponge cleaning

 (exclusively in the MP/milk mode)

Sponge cleaning

 must be carried out daily if the automatic feeder is 

not able to clean the heat exchanger all automatically. If the auto-
matic feeder can clean the heat exchanger all automatically, activate 

sponge cleaning

 only if necessary. E.g. if you have not been using 

any detergent for one week or you are using a new detergent and are 
not sure of its cleaning efficiency.

Carry out calibration

Carry out calibration at regular intervals but at least quarterly. Recali-
brate milk powder, 

concentrate and 

additives at least each time 

you use a new batch or you change the product/manufacturer. Make 
sure that the powder outlets are free from deposits. 

The same 

applies to the feed bowl and the dosing flap of the concentrate 
feeder.

Check the concentrate feeder

 and replenish it, if necessary.

Check the animal scales

, the cables and the holding devices.
