Cleaning the Shuttle The Lely shuttle is cleaned using these 3 routine cycles: rinse, soapy wash cycle, final acid rinse (if available)

Items Required• Rubber gloves• Vasoline to lubricate the cylinders• Liquid detergent or bootwash• Diluted acid solution if available• 50-100cc syringe• Extra boot pail with long brush or a clean sink

1. Rinse Cycle: Disconnect shuttle from robot and rinse milk hose, spoon and outside of shuttle with a spray hose.

2. Half-fill boot pail with very warm water and add Leminee® boot wash or dishwashing soap. PLEASE NOTE: If an on-farm acid wash is available, use AFTER using Leminee® bootwash.

3. Use the syringe to force soapy wash water through milk hose and fill the spoon. (A syringe that can screw onto the milk hose works best.) Move syringe in and out to force water and air into the milk hose. If you discover a pinhole leak, replace the hose, repair it, or cut it shorter.

4. Leave the milk hose and spoon full of solution. Remove the empty syringe and put the end of the milk hose into the top of the spoon to soak the milk hose. Soaking will help get rid of milk-stone build-up which can sour the next milk samples taken.

5. Drain soapy water from the hose and spoon. Use boot brush to wash entire shuttle and cover with wash solution. Note: edges of the shuttles can be very sharp so a long brush should be used to prevent injuries.

6. Using a brush, wash rack inside the boot pail or sink. Use a flask brush to clean the middle part of rack. After shuttle is washed and rinsed, remove the end of the milk hose from the spoon and thoroughly rinse out the acid wash solution if it was used.

7. Disconnect the milk hose from the spoon and drain all water. Blow out water from the milk hose manually to dry it. Ensuring the hose is dried is important as any remaining water could freeze on route in winter, and bacteria could grow in summer months.

8. Disassemble the spoon and hand-wash with a brush either in a sink or in the boot pail. Be careful not to lose the ‘O’ ring and gasket.

9. Once cleaned and rinsed, reassemble the spoon making sure not to over-tighten (always leave it slightly loose).
