I just put a new Ztruck in 2 days ago. Before I put it in, I scrubbed down everything. Now every few mins I am getting a "clean y axis rails" error.

Is something too tight?
the y rails are clean

Should I lube them?

Any ideas?

lostinthefrost,

The machine senses too much energy needed to move the Y truck I think.
When mine did that I found that the big gear on the Y motor was wearing into the cover because the other end of the shaft had worn off.

Anyway, something is causing the motor to use too much amperage.
