installed.

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.
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.
4. Press ON/OFF button ON.
Power light blinks quickly.
Probable Cause:
• Batteries need replacing.
Solution:
Light will continue to blink until batteries are removed or until they are
completely dead.
If the rake is stuck in the center or dumping position.
5. If unit does not operate with fresh batteries, try it with the AC adapter.
6. Green light should come on. If it does not, there is a problem with the AC
adapter or batteries.
Probable Cause:
• AC adapter does not work.
Solution:
Press ON/OFF button OFF and check the following:
1. The AC adapter plug is inserted fully into the input jack.
2. The power outlet is operating. (You may wish to double-check by plugging
unit into another outlet.)
3. Wait a few seconds and turn unit on again. Green light should come on
and the unit should perform a complete cleaning cycle.
4. If unit still does not operate, press ON/OFF button OFF and unplug the AC
adapter.
5. Operate the unit on battery power only.
Waste clumps adhere to the surface of the litter tray.
Probable Cause:
• Soiled litter tray surface (We recommend wearing rubber or latex gloves
when handling waste.)
Solution:
1. Remove clumps with scoop and dump litter into another container.
2. Remove litter tray (refer to "Care and Cleaning" in this use and care book),
clean with mild detergent, rinse and dry.
3. Spray litter tray surface with nonstick cooking spray or silicone spray, and
wipe with a soft, dry cloth. This will help to prevent waste clumps from
adhering to the surface of the tray.
Power light fails to come on when ON/OFF button is pressed ON.
