Installing the Litter-Robot 4 Ramp with Shield

Installing the Litter-Robot 4 Ramp with Shield

Have you found it challenging to install both the Ramp and Shield on your Litter-Robot 4? Or is the ramp or shield being knocked off by your kitties?

The last thing you need is for your kitty, who is comfortable using their Litter-Robot, to be scared off because one of the accessories moves unexpectedly.

In this article, you will find helpful instructions that will assist you in successfully installing both of these accessories. It is important to note that when you purchase these accessories, each arrives with a hinge that should be kept handy as they are used for different purposes.

Installing the Litter-Robot 4 Ramp with the shield

The Litter-Robot 4 Ramp and Litter-Robot 4 Shield are compatible as long as the shield hinge (included with purchase of the Litter-Robot 4 Shield) is used with the ramp. After the hinge is attached, you can install the shield first or the ramp first—the specific installation order does not matter.

Note: If you have already installed the Litter-Robot 4 Shield, you must remove it to install the shield hinge.

  1. Remove any fence that is attached to the Litter-Robot bezel.

    Note: There is a rib in the center of the ramp that aligns with a groove in the middle of the shield hinge to ensure the ramp is centered correctly during installation.
