end-of-milkdelayatthefactory.Othersettingsareavailable.
Contact your Bou-Matic®dealer to have settings changed.
2. Cylinderretractspeed:Ahoseclampisincludedwhichcan
be used to restrict the vacuum line to the cylinder. If the
cord retracts too fast with an unrestricted hose, tighten it
one (1) turn and and retest. (See Figure 2.)
.IMPORTANT:
Tightening the hose clamp on the vacuum line will also
restrict the rate at which the cord can be pulled out.

Maintenance
1. Rubber Hose To increase hose life, reposition hose in
shutoff valve every 500 hours of system operation or
monthly. To do this cut one (1) inch off the flow sensor end
ofthehoseorturn the hoseendforend.Thiswill reposition
the section of the hose that is clamped by the valve.
CAUTION:
Be sure there are no severe bends in the hoses that could
cause the tubes to collapse when vacuum is applied.
2. Cylinder and Cord At regular intervals or at least yearly,
clean and inspect the piston seal in the cylinders. To do
this,removethelowercap,removepiston, clean,regrease
and reassemble. Regrease with Petroleum Jelly. If cup
seal is worn or cut, replace it. If the nylon cord is worn or
frayed, replace it.
3. Flow Sensors Every 1500 hours of operation, clean the
inside of the flow sensors by brushing with an inflation
brush and pipeline detergent. Reassemble and wash the
entire system using an acid rinse consistent with general
pipeline washing procedures.
