Step

Description

Install the fixed component on the milk line by

twisting the pair of screws (ref. 5) to the end;

carefully tighten the nut (ref. 6) located on the lower

half-shell to fully fasten.

CAUTION

To not over tighten the nut (ref. 6).

For optimal fastening, fully twist the nut once

after contact with the milk tube.

NOTE

In order to facilitate the installation, it is

suggested that the movable component be put

at an angle of 10 ~ 15° to the horizontal surface.

Fig. 3 –Suggested angle for fixed

components

Install the gasket (ref. 7) onto the vacuum line (ref. 4) and therefore, subsequently, the vacuum

withdrawal nipple (ref. 8) at a 90° angle.

Connect the fixed component to the vacuum nipple

(ref. 8) with the piece of tube (ref. 9). The length of

this piece must be adapted, in order to avoid harsh

curves or the partial twisting of the tube on itself.

Connect the claw’s milk tube to the Combifast’s

movable component ID 14 milk tube using a

suitable piece of milk tube (2.5m –8.2 ft

suggested).

Connect the pulsator to the claw with an equivalent

pulsator tube.

WARNING

The tube (ref. 9) must be positioned at a

distance from the animals.

Fig. 4 –Connection of fixed component to

the vacuum nipple

For systems which foresee milking with LP20 /

LP30 electronic pulsators, the fixed component’s

power supply must be connected to the IT

transformer.

Fig. 5 –Connection of pulsator’s power

supply / data transfer lines to the IT

junction box
