Store in a highly visible place. Install all protective covers and guards before you operate the milking
robot.
• Wear the correct protective clothing and equipment. SWITCH OFF the milking robot, disconnect and
isolate the electrical power supply, release pneumatic pressure and wait for all moving parts to stop
before you clean or do maintenance on the milking robot.
• Know the emergency medical center number for your area.
• Contact your nearest Lely service provider if you have any questions.
• Review safety related items with all operators frequently (annually).
• Industrial electronic equipment may cause interference with household electronic equipment. In such
an event the affected equipment must be removed.
1.1.2 Electrical Safety
• Only an authorized electrician must install the electrical power supply for the machine.
• Make sure the electrical grounding of the electrical system and all parts of the machine meet the local
rules and regulations.
• Make sure all electrical switches are in the OFF position before you switch on the electrical power
supply.
• Prevent damage by vermin.
• Replace any damaged electrical lines, conduits, switches and components immediately.
• Isolate the electrical power supply at the master panel before you open the electrical panel to work on
the electrical system.
1.1.3 Chemical Safety
• The machine uses chemicals for cleaning and disinfection purposes. There is space in the central unit to
store the jerrycans for the chemicals (acid based liquid, alkaline based liquid and brush cleaner liquid).
The udder care drum must be stored away from the chemical jerrycans, but within 5 m (16.4 ft) from
the central unit.
• The stock of each chemical must be stored outside the robot control/compressor room according to
local rules and regulations. Contact your local Lely service provider for more information.
• Store the udder care products outside the robot control/compressor room, but at a different location
than the chemicals.
• To prevent exchange of the chemicals, make sure the correct tube is connected to the correct cleaning
detergent can. Severe damage to the live stock, humans and parts of the robot can occur when
chemical products are exchanged.
• Each chemical has a color code. Each suck tube has a color corresponding with the chemical. Each suck
tube has a disk with the name of the chemical.
• Read the safety instructions on the cans.
• Always wear protective gloves and safety goggles when you do work on parts where a chemical
product flows through.
