Additional Modification of  the Slide & Toss to be used with the Elite

This additional modification may be necessary if the lid of the LitterMaid does not open fully. 

1) Proper Range of Motion of the LitterMaid Lid
2) Additional Modification of the Slide & Toss 


1) Shows Proper Range of Motion of the LitterMaid Lid

Shown at the point of maximum opening within the raking cycle.

However due to LitterMaid manufacturing variability, it may not open fully, thereby restricting operation of the rake.  If this is the case, the  procedures outlined in section 2 must be followed.

Ideally, there should be additional play of the lid as shown

 


2) Additional Modification of the Slide and Toss

This will already be done if you purchase the Slide & Toss after
Jan 12, 2007 and let us know you are modifying the Slide & Toss.

If increased range of motion of the lid is needed,
mark the point where the hinge of the LitterMaid lid contacts the Slide & Toss.

Though the ramp is removed for better illustration, the contact point is better determined with the ramp in place as the ramp will lock the Slide & Toss in position. 

Notch 1/8" deep at Blue Line

Shown after notching - approx 1/8" deep

Adjust, if necessary

 

PLEASE NOTE:

1) The hinged lid of the LitterMaid, if removed, cannot be re-fastened with the Slide & Toss in place.  If you remove the hinged lid, you will have to re-fasten it with the Slide & Toss removed.
