Handling dense Clogs
Looj can handle most debris found in your gutter. Occasionally, there may be
heavy debris that will not clear in a single pass. Should this situation arise,
it’s important not to force the robot into the debris.
tiP: if you hear a loud clicking sound and the auger stops spinning, the auger’s
clutch has slipped. immediately turn off the auger and reverse Looj if this
occurs. once you are clear of the debris, proceed with cleaning.
To handle heavy clogs, leave the auger on and drive the robot slowly forward
until the auger contacts the clogged debris. Allow the auger to eject a small
amount of debris. If Looj gets stuck or if the clutch slips, reverse direction
and allow the auger to clear away the debris it has loosened. Repeat this
process until the clogged debris is fully cleared.

before driving the robot down the gutter.
