We strongly recommend replacing the two AfiLab rubber connectors once a year.

To replace the rubber connector:

  1. Disconnect the elbow pipe and remove the sampler replacement tube and the rubber connector.

  2. Remove the AfiLab from its bracket, and then remove and replace the rubber connector attached towards the milk meter.

  3. Connect the AfiLab inlet to the new milk meter rubber connector.

  4. Place the new rubber connector on the AfiLab outlet, and then re-connect the sampler replacement tube and the elbow pipe.

Note: Perform the above actions gently to avoid changing the device alignment.
