Clean milk taxi (am/pm)

1. Before feeding, take red hose identified as “milk taxi” and attach to “bucket spout”. Make sure there is a clean bucket under the spout.

2. After feeding, use hose to rinse out milk taxi vat inside and out as well as the cover with cold water, then drain out water (do not use hot water to rinse).

   b. Dump out rinse water.

3. Add hot water into the vat until above sensor (~30L)

Before you leave

- Always wash the milk taxi completely using chemical after every feed.

- Rinse the vat and the wand with water after the cleaning cycle.

- Clamp the wand back to the taxi (other wise milk will end up on the floor).

- Make sure taxi is plugged in and leave it turned on.
