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.
