• they can speed up milk recording
• you can just leave the tap going whilst doing something else
• it's easy to turn off again (using a bung can be a hassle)

Putting new or cleaned liners into Shells
When fitting your replacement Silclear
liners into the clear shells, we recommend
that you use the following procedure: -

1. You will need a pair of long-nosed
   pliers to help make the job of changing
   your new liners into your existing
   shells very easy.
2. Wrap tell-tail tape, or similar, around
   each jaw of the pliers to stop them
   damaging the ends of the new liners.
   Please note the plier jaws can be
   very sharp and may cut into the silicone
   material if this precaution is not
   taken.
3. Insert the liner into the top end of the
   shell, and then the pliers into the bottom
   end of the shell.
4. Push the liner onto one jaw of the
   pliers, in such a way that you can
   firmly grip the liner between the two
   jaws of the pliers (picture 1).
5. Pull the liner through the bottom
   hole of the shell using one strong
   pull (picture 2).
6. Fit the notch of the liner into the bottom
   of the shell.
7. Fit the head over the top end of the
   shell, taking care to ensure that the
   liner is straight.
8. Attach to thoroughly degreased liner
   spigot on your milking claw.
   Removing Liners from Shells
   1) Detach head of liner from top of shell.
   2) Push notch through bottom of shell
   3) Push thickened bottom end of liner
   through shell (see picture 3)
   4) Pull out.
