• AC Adapter does not work
Turn On/Off Switch to "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. Red light should come on and the unit
should perform a complete cleaning cycle.
4. If unit still does not operate, turn On/Off Switch to "off" and unplug the AC Adapter.
5. Operate the unit on battery power only.
E. 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.)
1. Remove clumps from surface with a damp cloth.
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.
F. Light fails to come on when On/Off Switch is turned "on."
Probable Cause:
• Power outage or batteries are incorrectly installed.
1. Turn On/Off Switch to "off" then back to "on."
2. Make sure there is power to the unit and/or batteries are correctly installed.
G. 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 red light will blink slowly (approximately every second),
indicating that the Rake has encountered an obstacle it cannot move.
1. Turn the On/Off Switch to "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. Turn On/Off Switch to "on."
H. Light blinks quickly.
Probable Cause:
• Batteries need replacing.
Light will continue to blink until batteries are removed or until they are completely
dead.
I. Light is off.
Probable Cause:
• No A/C power is reaching the unit or the batteries are dead.

Care and Cleaning

Sensor Covers
The two sensors located on the interior side panels are protected by sensor covers that
need to be kept dust free. After changing or adding litter, always wipe each Sensor with
a soft, dry cloth to remove dust (Fig. 7).

Litter Tray
Use only premium clumping litter. Lesser quality litters will impair performance.
To empty and clean Litter Tray:
• Check to make sure Rake is in home position.
• Turn the On/Off Switch to the "off" position.
• Unplug unit and remove batteries to prevent accidental activation of the unit.
• Lift latches on both sides of unit and lift up by side panel handles (Fig. 8a). This will
separate the tray from the Main Housing (Fig. 8b).

• Dispose of the used litter. To ensure proper disposal of litter, follow manufacturer's
instructions on litter package. Wipe the Litter Tray with a damp cloth. If further
cleaning is necessary, the Litter Tray can be fully immersed in water and washed with
a mild detergent.
Important: Do not soak or immerse the Main Housing in water. Dry the unit completely
before reassembling.
• Before reassembling, 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.
To reassemble:
• Place the Litter Tray on a flat surface. Carefully lower the Main Housing onto the Litter
Tray. Engage the two locks by pressing the lower part of each latch firmly against tabs
on Litter Tray until a click is heard to indicate that both sections are locked into place.
