4 problems the manual covers, with the cause and the fix it gives.

The PETKIT PuraMax 2 is a rotating drum box. The steps below are the manufacturer's own; if a step involves opening the unit, check the warranty first.

Why: The magnetic side cover is not closed or not installed properly.

What to do: Re-seat the magnetic side cover.[1]

Screen shows 'Device failure'

Why: A device fault.

What to do: Open the PETKIT app to see the fault details.[1]

Screen says the waste collection bin is full

Why: The waste bin is full.

What to do: Empty the bin and fit a new trash bag.[1]

Device stops and alerts mid-cycle

Why: A cat entered or approached while the device was running; it pauses automatically.
