Ram does not return fully or returns jerkily – Moving carriage arms bent

Last Updated on April 20, 2020 by Forest Master

Use the Ramstop to lock the ram in position about 150mm forward. Remove the 4 bolts holding the Duoct blade/pusher to the carriage and remove the blade/pusher. Unlock the Ramstop, if the carriage returns then the arms are bent.

Check the amount of bend with a straight edge, if it is less than 5mm then you may be able to straighten them in a vice.
