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

rake has encountered an obstacle it cannot move.

Important:
When the ON/OFF button is in the OFF position it only disables
the rake function.

LitterMaid® tool to clean rake teeth.
