Litter-Robot EVO: Seal strips installation guide

Litter-Robot EVO is equipped with brush-type seal strips that sit along the lower globe and waste port. This seal strip replacement pack contains all varieties of seal strips found on Litter-Robot EVO.

Installing upper base seal strips

Tools needed:

2. You can also use ⅜-inch (9.5 mm) strips of sturdy duct tape. Apply tape to residue, rub to adhere firmly, and pull off. Repeat around the port. Clean any residue left behind with rubbing alcohol.

3. To apply a new strip, peel off the adhesive backing on the first seal strip. Adhere the first seal strip (1) to the back edge of the base center.

3. To ensure that the new seal strips adhere to the base, remove any litter and old strip residue. This can be done with some ⅜-inch (9.5 mm) strips of sturdy duct tape. Apply tape to residue, rub to adhere firmly, and pull off. Repeat around the port.
   • Clean any reside left behind with rubbing alcohol.

4. Replace the (4) side seal strips. Peel off the adhesive backing on the first seal strip.

Reassembly

1. Replace the globe: Hold the globe by the bezel edge and slide it back into the base.

2. Ensure the back of the globe is sitting flush in the rear bearing pocket.

3. The large black gear on the rear of the globe will line up with the smaller black gear in the base.

4. Replace the bonnet by aligning the tab at the back of the bonnet with the slot in the bonnet hinge.

• Rotate the bonnet downward with light pressure on the sides so that it hugs the globe. This will help ensure proper alignment of the bonnet latches in the base.

• Confirm that the two channels on each side of the base are properly aligned and that there are no gaps between the bonnet and the base.
