Tips for Using a Bucket Milker assembly

• Correctly clean your cow and start the cow with your hands.
• Hook your vacuum line to your vacuum port on your bucket milker then switch the vacuum pump on.
• Put the bucket on the floor next to the cow close to her rib cage. It’ll leave space to access the cow’s udder.
• Grasp the claw then hold it underneath the cow’s udder with the milk hose positioned towards the claw’s front. When you, the bucket, the cow, and claw are in position, open up the vacuum to the claw then listen to ensure that your pulsator is clicking.
• Place the inflations on the teats one at a time beginning with the teats that is farthest away from you.
• Ensure that the claw hangs directly down from the cow’s udder. It cannot be twisted while milking. Once you develop confidence in your skills, you might discover that pulling the claw forward or adjusting its position on your cow is going to speed things up.
