Body Positioning (page 27).
2. When using a generic milk meter bracket, attach the generic milk meter bracket
to the wall securely.
The generic milk meter bracket can be bolted or welded to the wall.
NOTE
The AfiFree Connection box has molded mounting points on its back. Two
or more of these can be drilled through as required for screws or bolts.
Before mounting a Plug-in Connection Box, make sure its jumpers are
configured correctly (see Checking Jumpers in the Plug-in Connection Box,
page 33).
NOTE
The AfiFree Body must be mounted level to ensure accurate milk volume
calculations.
The pipe connecting the AfiFree Body to the milk line must have a
downward slope of 1.5° in the direction of the flow of milk.
NOTE
There are two ways of mounting the AfiFree body bracket:
 Attach the AfiFree body bracket directly to the pit wall
 Attach a generic milk meter bracket to the wall, and mount the AfiFree
body bracket on the generic milk meter bracket
