Use a high-pressure cleaner?

It is very tempting to occasionally clean the robot with a high-pressure cleaner.

DeLaval is against using a high-pressure cleaner when cleaning the robot.
Because there is too much hardware and also moving parts such as encoders, camera, touchscreen, which can very badly withstand the water pressure of a high-pressure cleaner.
It is protected, but you also want the VMS to last 24/7 for many years.

If you still want to use the high-pressure cleaner for the floor and the fencing, do so with your Farmersense, so with a minimum pressure, at most 80 Bar and pay close attention to what you are spraying.

And make sure that the robot room is well ventilated in the meantime and afterwards.
The splashes go everywhere and the vapor otherwise hangs in the robot room for hours and that is also very bad for the printed circuit boards etc.!

Try to clean as much as possible with the water hose with sprayer in combination with a car wash brush, cleaning cloth, to have to use the high-pressure cleaner as little as possible.
