hi folks im mongo,ive had my machine for less than 4 working hours and now i cant get it to lower down.it just makes the clicking clutch sound any ideas why??

hope you have gotten your machine to work. I apply a little downward pressure on the center of the machine while turning the handle

No. Don't apply pressure! You raised the head too far and it is locked in place. You can manually turn a bolt to lower it safely (visit CarveWright online support for instructions). Forcing the head down is Not good!

Once again, I stand corrected. I forget where I started.
This is what works on my machines...me running them.
Usually I don't crank the head all the way up as to lock it.
If "a LITTLE" pressure doesn't free it lubricant or head alignment may be an issue.

Hi Brent,

I sometimes apply gentle pressure when lowering the head under normal circumstances. But if the head is "locked" in the up position, it's usually because the user cranked it too high. That was my assumption in this case anyway.

Welcome rldustyc to the forums! Being a new member, it does take a few "days" at the start to get your posts to show up and also to be able to click, view and download. You may be able to email the administrators to see if your privileges could be quickened up~ that's what I did. It didn't help being able to post and see my posts right away... usually it was a couple of days before they actually posted... and then one day I noticed that they were posting instantly. Hope this helps!!
