Waste frequently piles up at the end, near the chute, without going over the edge. What am I doing wrong?

I find this happens if I have too much litter in the pan. Keep the level of litter (I use FreshStep) somewhat shallow, about an inch and a half. Will work just fine.

If this is the littermaid, then watch it to make sure that the scoop continues up and over the edge. If not, you need to figure out why and how to fix this problem. I would suggest contacting Littermaid or the manufacturer for more info.

Adjust the rake to push the waste over the edge. ( bend the SS rake too make it to the chute)

You ar doing nothing wrong...it is the fault of the machine. It does not get rid of the waste as advertrised. I was very dissatisfied, as are you, and am now emptying the pan daily myself. Sorry I wasted the money.

I have a folder too but the fixed stocks are actually shorter than you think,angle it a bit should be ok. mine swallows all ive tried.

You are not doing anything wrong. I can never get the bags to zip properly either. I just squeeze as much air out as possible, zip the bag as best I can, then fold the top over and wrap a large gum band (top to bottom) to keep it from spilling.

It could have something to do with what you are composting. Have you put in grease, meat, or animal waste? Those items do not go in the bin.

I have delt with a similar issue. I have found that just by pushing the waste, paper etc. through every 4 to 6 months or so as "maintenance" to keep the line clear has work fine and prevents it from backing up. Make sure there is only one turn point if any as this product will not work with multiple turns in the piping. eg. trying to clear a clogged sink trap.

Same here. We just pulled it all the way out and the carefully let it roll back in clean watching the line so it didn't "stack up"and was evenly rolled. Hope that helps.

Put fingers in drawer slot, lift up slightly, pull forward. I never had a problem with mine. Is the basket too full? If so, give the shredder a little shake to settle the shredded paper. Try again.

I agree with BeeVee. Branches go in great and often self feed themselves through (ensure the plate is tightened down if it starts NOT to self-feed or jams a lot). The slot on top does not do a good job of accommodating smaller pieces. You have to shove everything in with your gloved hands or try to use the plunger thing which doesn't work well. Using a 1-1.5 inch stick worked better for getting things through. You'll probably be better off getting one with a bigger (more open) feed chute.

I have found that if I pack the trash down into the bag to get as much as I can into the bag before taking it out it will be harder to get out and will catch on the screws from the handles. What I did to prevent that is cover the screws with packing tape and it doesn't happen any longer. Or not stuff the bags so full. Hope this helps.

First, always stake down all the loops at the bottom (all 10) and make sure the edges are taut. When set up in a grassy area ours did have some gaps so on one occasion we used site available items to strategically hold down some areas. For example small rocks, small logs, fire wood, even some canned goods, etc. Generally we have not had an issue in bare ground areas but the same tactics could apply. Hope this helps.

Make sure that you have clearance all the way around, If this is OK you may have an alignment problem from side to side. Look how it tracks over the full close and open movement, Try adjusting one side either back or front and see if this will help.

I've found that pulling it taut and cutting it 1 layer at a time helps but there are still some stragglers. I usually just cut it folded as is and rinse the ends so they don't end up in whatever I'm straining. :)

I always left at the feet. I stretched the top/canopy end to the feet. That way was out of the way!

It can be tricky. I pull the top up and to the side so that the top is partially open. Then I balance it against something so it'll stay standing up and fill it from a bag. Creating a funnel out of paper might help. This is my second birdfeeder. I always seem to manage.

I have the same problem. I have the American Standard Dual Flush (two buttons on top to prevent overuse of water for liquid waste).There HAS to be a way to install this thing. I've Googled it repeatedly and haven't found any solutions.

I've never experienced this problem with mine. I just make sure I don't exceed the "MAX FILL" line.

Thanks SirBrad... I was having problems extending the bottom as well. Your suggestion helped me a lot. It's a pity they didn't specify this in the instructions.
