[QUOTE="Chips, post: 1111, member: 432"] Okay here goes , I was about to post the following the other morning but alas the site was down and I was unable to share my excitement at having manually attached my first cow after over four years of struggling with wild heifers or hard udders on fresh calvers ,and it's so simple :) Just like we were discussing before the site crashed you just wait until the arm starts scanning the teats and simply slide the little collar up on the air shut off and all the cups go loose with vacuum and pulsation on ,whats really good is that it actually acknowledges that the cups are on once attached and records the milking , the arm still moves so can follow the cow if she moves , you can slide the sleeve back down as soon as the cups are on but it did leak air then so I left it off and pulled each cup off when the x link said to and turned air back on at the end . I did this with a random cow who came in just to try it out but can see no reason why it would not work the same with first time milking , what I plan to do with 1 st milkings now is allow arm to scan and try to attach and then if it can't get attached after loads of tries just slide the collar up and attach before it fails her ,this way it should have some idea of teat coordinents to help at next milking when heifer should be calmer . This firmly reestablishes in my mind that Lely have the best robot , I had started to have mad ideas about trading it one day for a delaval but no more , it was so simple I can't believe I haven't worked it out sooner , I cannot remember who posted how to do it , was it 'cows4milk' ? A Big Big thankyou to them :D [/QUOTE]
