Power light blinks slowly and continuously.
Probable Cause:
• Rake has encountered an obstacle it cannot remove. 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
(approximately every second), indicating that the rake has encountered an
obstacle it cannot move.
Solution:
1. Press ON/OFF button OFF.
Important: When the On/Off button is in the Off position it only disables the
rake function.
2. Use the LitterMaid™ triple-action tool to remove the obstacle.
3. Make sure that the rake teeth are clean and free of litter. Use the LitterMaid®
tool to clean rake teeth.
