3. Draw foremilk from each quarter into corresponding cup of testing paddle.

1. Tilt testing paddle to discharge excess milk until equal volumes remain in each cup.

2. Remaining milk should be level with the outside (largest) circle in the cup.

1. Tilt testing paddle back until milk is halfway between the inner and outer circles.

2. Slowly add CMT working solution into each cup until mixture is even with the inside circle of each cup. This should provide equal parts milk to CMT solution.
