Product Description iRobot Looj is a powerful robot designed to clean gutters. Looj eliminates multiple climbs up and down the ladder. No more moving the ladder every six feet, or overreaching at dangerous heights. Looj has a number of features designed to make gutter cleaning simple and easy. Looj’s ergonomic handle detaches for wireless control of the robot. The included belt clip lets you keep two hands on the ladder as you climb.
Charging and Installing the Battery Looj ships with a Lithium-Ion battery. Be sure to fully charge the battery before first use. Fully charging the battery before every use will provide best performance. Looj batteries are designed to power Looj through up to 200 linear feet of gutter on a single charge. Between uses and for long term storage, remove the battery from the robot, and store in a cool, dry place. Always use the correct line cord and plug that work with your type of electrical outlet.
The Remote Control Handle TIP: Push any button to power on the remote. A green LED will flash to indicate that the remote has power. The remote control handle detaches from Looj and is used to command the robot from a distance of up to 45 feet, depending upon environmental conditions. The remote control handle keeps your hands clean and makes it easy to place the robot in and out of the gutter using only one hand. Install two AAA alkaline batteries in the remote control handle before operating.

® Using iRobot Looj ® IMPORTANT: The robot is only intended to clean in the forward direction. Always have the auger spinning when moving the robot. Tip: L earn about Looj on the ground first, not on a ladder. 1. Drive it forward and backward on the ground. Verify that the lights on the remote control handle and on the robot blink when buttons are pressed. 2. Spin the auger in both directions. Read about and practice operating all the buttons and controls before use.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when using Looj to protect your eyes from debris. CAUTION: Do not stand underneath the gutter while Looj is operating. 5. Press the power button on the robot to turn it on. The power light should be green to indicate that its battery is charged. A slow blinking red light indicates that you should charge Looj’s battery. (For all LED indicators please see the indicator lights section on Page 22.) 6. Detach the remote control handle. 7. Select your auger direction.
11. The LED on the remote control handle will display different messages depending on what the robot is doing. For a list of all LED indicators, please see the indicator lights section on page 22. 12. Once Looj reaches the end of the gutter, drive it back to you. Keep the auger spinning to help drive under the gutter straps. TIP: S hould the robot ever turn sideways or flip over in your gutter, spin the auger in the opposite direction and back the robot up to right itself.
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. To handle heavy clogs, leave the auger on and drive the robot slowly forward until the auger contacts the clogged debris. Press the forward button twice and hold to proceed at half speed. Allow the auger to eject a small amount of debris.
Maintenance Cleaning Looj Make sure the battery door is securely closed before cleaning. Looj is designed to be easily cleaned with a hose or under a faucet. No chemicals should be used to clean Looj. Prior to cleaning, remove the remote control handle and treads from the robot. Clean any debris from Looj’s wheels. Looj’s remote control handle should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. The remote control handle is not waterproof. Damage may occur to the electronics if it is sprayed with water or submerged.
Indicator Lights Remote Control Handle LED: What it means Solid Green This indicates that the power is on, battery is charged, and all communication is okay. This light will only be on when robot is moving. This occurs for 5 seconds to indicate that the remote has connected to the robot. This indicates that the robot and remote have a low signal strength. Stop forward progress and return the robot to you. Driving the robot out of range risks losing communication and control of the robot.
Charger Light What it means Slow Blinking Green The battery is connected to the charger and is charging. Fast Blinking Green There is an error and the battery is not charging. Please make sure the battery is properly seated in the charger and is making proper contact. If the problem persists, contact customer care. The battery is fully charged.
