Troubleshooting

Rake continues to go through cleaning cycles.

Probable Cause:

Too much litter in the litter box is causing excess litter to collect behind the rake, preventing it from returning to home position or there is an obstacle in front at the rake. If the rake cannot move an obstacle during the cleaning cycle, the unit will go through a cleaning cycle up to five times in an attempt to clear the obstacle. If unsuccessful, the rake will return to its home position, and the green light will blink slowly (1 time per second), indicating that the rake has encountered an obstacle

it cannot move.

Solution:

1.Press the ON/OFF button to turn unit OFF.

2.Clear the obstacle.

Be sure litter in tray is just below the Full Line. Use the LitterMaid® triple- action tool to measure the level of the litter in the center of the unit. Full Line will not be visible if tray is overfilled.

3.Press the ON/OFF button ON.

4.The rake will run through a complete cleaning cycle. When cycle is finished, the unit is ready for use.
