  If the bending ram continues retracting even after the rear limit switch is activated, check the wire connections on the rear limit switch, and check the micro switch with an ohmmeter. Also, check for broken or disconnected wires. Replace the switch if it's faulty. If the solenoid valve spool is stuck, manually operate the solenoid valve using the manual control buttons.
