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.

Important: When the On/Off button is in the Off position it only disables

the rake function.

2. Clear the obstacle.

Be sure litter in tray is just below the "Full Line". Level litter on litter tray

evenly and use the LitterMaid® scoop and rake cleaner 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.

Unit does not operate 10 minutes after cat leaves.
Probable Cause:
• Dusty sensors
Solution:
1. Wipe each sensor with a soft, dry cloth.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn unit OFF.

Important: When the On/Off button is in the Off position it only disables

the rake function.

3. Press the ON/OFF button ON.
4. Unit will run through a cleaning cycle.

Rake Removal & Cleaning

rake cleaner.
