  • Page 34: Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions Will my cat actually go inside the Globe? Cats are generally curious and will investigate new objects. Cats that are already used to a covered litter box may be quicker to investigate. We recommend that you place the Litter-Robot in the same location as the old litter box. You can leave the old litter box near the Litter-Robot for a short time.
  • Page 35 What happens if my cat tries to enter the Globe while it is rotating? The Litter-Robot Cat Sensing system will detect your cat before they enter the Globe and the motor will stop. Once your cat leaves the Globe, the Litter-Robot will wait 15 seconds before attempting to resume the cycle.
  • Page 36 How much litter do I put in the Litter-Robot? Fill the Globe with approximately 8-10 pounds of litter, until it meets the raised MAX Fill Line on the Flexible Globe Liner when the litter is spread flat. If there is too much litter in the Globe, it will be expelled into the Waste Drawer during the first few cycles.
  • Page 37: In-Home Trial

Why is my Litter-Robot 4 not detecting weight? ›

The Litter-Robot is equipped with weight sensors located in the base of the unit that are used to further detect and weigh the cat within the globe while in the Home position. If your Litter-Robot 4 is not accurately detecting your cat's weight, this is typically an issue with the placement of your robot.

How often should I clean the litter on my robot 4? ›

Cleaning your Litter-Robot

Why does my Litter-Robot keep saying it's full when it's not? ›

Check for obstructions blocking the drawer full indicator (DFI) sensors. There are two sensors inside the base, above where the waste drawer would sit. Debris, such as dust or cat fur, can interfere with the DFI sensor. This can cause the unit to inaccurately trigger a drawer-full indication.
