Udder Guns

Make sure guns are clean and free of debris before and after each shift.

Open up all covers and look for wear or damage.
NOTE : Excessive wear will usually occur on the teat belt cover where the tracking clips are or
around the spray nozzle slot on the main housing.

With covers open, look over teat belts for wear on the ribs of the flaps or any broken off flaps.
NOTE : Teat belts are reversible to extend the life of the ribs and maintain short cleaning times.

Look over the spindles to see if they still have a rough traction surface and check that they
rotate freely, in their bearings.
NOTE : Rotating the spindle modules, to the other position weekly will extend the life of the
spindles, module blocks and main housing.
