11.1 Changing the Liners
The teat cup liner is the only component within the robot that comes into contact with the
cow’s udder; therefore they, along with the shells should be checked for cracks and
other damage daily and replaced when recommended in order to achieve maximum
performance and minimise udder damage.
Fullwood recommend that liners are replaced every 2500 cow milkings or every six
months (whichever comes first). Liners should always be replaced in sets of four.
Select the correct liner to go with the shell, vacuum chamber and liner gauge.
Put the robot into PAUSE, and turn off the compressed air supply
