Important Notes:

• The performance of this machine (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect machine performance.
• The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Safety Precautions for Operation:

1. The using voltage and power should be according to the requirement of the equipment. The power should have a reliable earthing protection line and other safety protection measurements. If you use the three-phase vacuum pump, please pay attention to the turning direction of the motor.
2. The daily maintenance, disassembling, and cleaning in certain periods should be according to the regulation of the instruction manual. Use suitable tools to install or disassemble the equipment to avoid damage.
3. The machine is equipped with a steam separator to prevent liquid from flowing into the vacuum pump and damaging the vacuum pump. The vacuum gauge and pressure regulating valve are more intuitive when installed on the steam separator.
4. The milking machine is equipped with a water alarm. When the alarm goes off, it means that water has entered the shelf and needs to be stopped immediately.

Milking Operation and Cleaning

1. Milking Operation Method:

1. Turn on the power of the milking machine.
2. Turn off the vacuum switch of the vacuum tank, and start the vacuum pump. The vacuum gauge needle should rise stably.
3. Adjust the vacuum pressure: Turn the "pressure regulating valve" clockwise to increase vacuum pressure; turn it anti-clockwise to decrease vacuum pressure. Adjust the vacuum pump to the normal vacuum degree position (0.045~0.05MPa). Turn on the switch of the vacuum pump to begin milking.

Vacuum Gauge: Displays vacuum pressure in MPa, with markings for 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1 MPa.

Controls: Features a Green button [Green Button: On] and a Red button [Red Button: Off].

2. The Order of Milking:

(1) Preparation of Milking:

• Clean the cow's breast and teat thoroughly, then dry them. It is recommended to clean the teat with water containing a biocide.
• Before attaching the milk cup, manually milk the teat 2-3 times. Place the teat into the special cup to check if it is normal.
• Ensure the cow's breast and teat are clean and dry. After confirming the teat is normal, attach the claw within 1 minute.

(2) Method of Covering Milk Cup:

• Hold the claw horizontally, allowing the four milking lining liners to fall naturally. The liners will close around the four teats due to the stainless steel cup's gravity.
• Hold the claw horizontally, position it under the cow's breast, and open the claw's switch with your forefinger. Ensure the claw remains horizontal; if it declines, air may escape from the lining liner, affecting machine performance.
• Hold the head of the milk cup with your thumb, third finger, and last finger of one hand. Use your forefinger and middle finger to guide the teat into the milking lining liner. Keep the stainless steel cup upright. Before doing so, detach the rubber pipe from the bottom of the milking lining liner to prevent air escape when the cup is upright. Quickly cover the milking lining liner onto the teat. If a cow has one teat that cannot be milked, use the special rubber teat cap in the milk cup's mouth to prevent air escape.

(3) Milking Process:

• Milking time varies per cow, typically 3-5 minutes. When teats are almost empty, hold the claw with one hand and pull it forward to ensure the milk in the rear udder area is cleaned. Pull the claw forward again. If no more milk is present, the cup can be removed.

(4) Method of Taking the Cup Off:

• When all four teats are finished milking, remove the cup immediately. While removing, pull the claw's switch down to close the vacuum.
• Use one hand to close the vacuum switch of the claw, and the other hand to hold the four milk cups and pull them out gently in a declining motion.

Note: Do not continue milking after the primary milking is finished, as this can cause discomfort or illness to the cow's udder.

Avoid pulling the claw straight up; this can damage the teat due to residual vacuum. Pull declining so that air from the teat escapes, reducing the claw's vacuum, then hold it down naturally.

Difference Between Milking by Machine and Milking by Hand:

1. Sanitation: Machine milking absorbs milk directly into a sealed, disinfectant milk barrel, preventing pollution. Hand milking, where milk is shot into the air, is prone to contamination from dust.
2. Efficiency: Machine milking takes approximately 3-4 minutes per cow, while hand milking takes 10-15 minutes. This results in saving about two-thirds of the milking time.
3. Output: Using a milking machine can improve milk output by approximately 5%.
   • Reasons: Machine milking handles four teats simultaneously with a unified pulsator rhythm and strength, which is more comfortable for cows and promotes better growth and output. Hand milking, with inconsistent strength and rhythm, and only two teats milked at a time, can leave cows unsatisfied and negatively impact growth and milk yield.

Cleaning Method:

After milking, immediate cleaning is crucial to prevent bacterial propagation.

Daily Cleaning Order:

1. Clean the claw, milk pipe, and milk barrel with water.
2. Cleaning Preparation: Use a large pot filled with water. Place the claw into the pot, turn on the vacuum pump, and draw water into the milk barrel from the claw. Turn off the vacuum tank's switch, open the milk barrel cover, and then pour out the water.
3. Circulation Cleaning with Agent: Prepare a cleaning agent solution with water heated to approximately 70°C. Homogenize the mixture, place the claw in the pot, and use the vacuum switch to draw the hot cleaning agent into the milk barrel. After absorption, return the cleaning agent to the pot and circulate it until the temperature drops to 40°C.
4. Rinse with normal temperature water 2-3 times, drawing the water from the claw into the milk barrel to clean the equipment.
5. Pour out the water, dry the equipment, and store it in a clean, airless place for the next use.
6. Cleaning agents (alkaline and acidic) are typically used in rotation: three days of alkaline cleaning followed by one day of acidic cleaning.
