  • Page 61 Introduction The milk recording device Shuttle XY is tested for a period of time resulting in ICAR approval. The approval is applicable for the Shuttle XY on all Astronaut milking robots. Some modifications are required to comply to the ICAR standard. Resulting in better mixing of the milk in the milk jar, reducing cleaning water remaining and ensuring minimal carry-over during sampling.
  • Page 62 The milk manifold, pre-milk, 6-fold tube, nipples and tubes are changed. Also the drain cycle during the Lely wash is improved in Robot software version 3.0 SR2. See #3-7 in the ICAR update matrix How to replace the parts can be found in the A4 service manual.
  • Page 63  Check correct function of fill head Shuttle XY. Milk of previous cow is flushed passing the fill head passing the loop to the antenna and must not flow back into the sample bottle. Little backflow is allowed, approx. 2 cm backflow during filling of the vial.
