This chapter explains how to shut down the automatic feeder temporarily or permanently and
recommission it.
8.1 Shutdown
You can shut down the automatic feeder temporarily or permanently.
To make the procedure easier and ensure that you do not miss any steps, see the check list
Shutting down the automatic feeder in the appendix (see 10.3 "Shutdown checklist" - 120).
Note: If you have installed additional devices such as an additive dispenser , the IFS feeding
station , the ActivityBox or the CalfRail , you must also follow the shutdown instructions in the
operating manual for these devices.
8.1.1 Temporary shutdown
You can temporarily shut down the automatic feeder, for example from the end of one calving
season to the start of the next.
If you are shutting down the automatic feeder for a prolonged period of more than one year, you
should store the feeder in an upright position in a clean, dry and frost-free location.
In addition, observe the following rules when transporting the automatic feeder:
CAUTION!
Health hazards caused by lifting heavy loads.
► Do not move the automatic feeder by yourself.
• The automatic feeder must always be transported in an upright position.
To ensure that the automatic feeder does not become a breeding ground for germs, which could
endanger the health and life of the calves when you recommission the feeder, you must thor-
oughly clean the automatic feeder before shutting it down.
Depending on how the automatic feeder is configured, you must run the manual or automatic
cleaning programs for the mixer, heat exchanger, hoses, teat and powder container.
After cleaning, the power and water supply must be interrupted, the boiler drained, the cable
glands for antennas and the Ethernet connection sealed with dummy plugs and the water
drained from the magnetic valves and the volume control valve.
To shut down the automatic feeder, proceed as follows:
WARNING!
Beware of chemical burns from the cleaning agents used.
The cleaning agent can cause chemical burns to your eyes or hands.
► Always wear safety glasses and chemical-proof protective gloves when disposing of clean-
ing agents. Follow all the safety instructions listed in the safety data sheet for the cleaning
agent and wear the specified safety equipment.
