Care and maintenance
This chapter covers regular maintenance and functional testing of the automatic feeder, and
to a certain extent, its accessories. These ensure that the required hygienic standards are
maintained. Maintenance includes additional measures to preserve hygiene that are not
described in the Cleaning chapter, as well as scheduled replacement of wearing parts. Visual
and functional testing of components as well as replacement of the suction hose and teat can
be carried out by the owner/operator.
Note:
Repair work and replacement of wearing parts on or in the automatic feeder, with the
exception of the suction hoses and teats, may only be carried out by a service technician.
On a regular basis, you must visually inspect and test the functions of the automatic feeder
and its components, clean it to maintain hygiene, calibrate it and replace simple wearing parts
such as the suction hose. Depending on the automatic feeder component in question, and
depending how you operate your automatic feeder, you must perform inspections and main-
tenance on a weekly, quarterly and annual basis.
At different intervals, service messages such as RS1 (rule service 1) will appear on the display
of your automatic feeder. Contact your dealer and specify the service message you have
received so that the dealer can perform the necessary maintenance.
Compliance with these maintenance intervals is the only way to ensure the long life and reli-
ability of your automatic feeder.
The following rule services (RS) have been defined:
•
RS1 must be performed every 4 months.
•
RS2 must be performed every 12 months.
