7. Press the remote power button. The light on the remote control handle blinks when it is transmitting signals to the robot. 8. Once Looj is clear of the ladder, choose the desired rotational direction by pressing the auger spin direction button on the remote control handle. TIP: Note that one direction will spin the debris away from the house and the other direction will spin the debris onto the roof. Test the spin direction before driving the robot down the gutter. 9. Ensure that the auger is spinning and tossing debris out of the gutter and away from your home. 10. Press and hold the robot movement button in the forward direction to begin cleaning the gutter. Drive the robot forward and backward down the gutter to remove the debris. Handling Dense Clogs Looj can handle most debris found in your gutter. Occasionally, there may be heavy debris that will not clear in a single pass. Should this situation arise, it's important not to force the robot into the debris. TIP: If you hear a loud clicking sound and the auger stops spinning, the auger's clutch has slipped. Immediately turn off the auger and reverse Looj if this occurs. Once you are clear of the debris, proceed with cleaning. To handle heavy clogs, leave the auger on and drive the robot slowly forward until the auger contacts the clogged debris. Allow the auger to eject a small amount of debris. If Looj gets stuck or if the clutch slips, reverse direction and allow the auger to clear away the debris it has loosened. Repeat this process until the clogged debris is fully cleared.

If you drive the robot over debris and up the side of the gutter, you risk it falling out of the gutter which may cause injury. 16 iRobot Looj Owner's Manual CAUTION: Excessive operation of the Auger while the clutch is slipping (clicking) will cause permanent damage to the robot. 11.
