The clutch is intended to load the board against the traction drive
with consistent force. In certain cases the machine can sense if the
workpiece is not loaded enough and repeatably display "Please
Load Board" on the LCD. Most often this decreased loading is
caused by insufficient lubrication of the four vertical corner posts or
the two vertical leadscrews. Please see the Checking the Head
Pressure in the troubleshooting section for the proper lubrication
procedure.
The head-locking lever is then rotated outward into the locked
position. The workpiece is now secure and ready to be carved.

Locking Lever
......... In Locked Position
FIGURE18: LOCKING LEVER CONFIGURATION
Make sure that the locking lever is released after finishing carving.
If the locking lever is NOT released the head will not be able to
move up and down.
_ ARNING: Failure to correctly load the clutch by ratcheting it
at least five times may result in diminished carving quality.
As a matter of regular maintenance, check that the Y and Z Cutting Trucks
(Figure 13) are tight and do not have any play in them. Simply grab each
one with your hand and wiggle back and forth. If either of these trucks is
loose they will need to be tightened. Failure to tighten these trucks will
result in decreased carving quality. Please call the service help line for
tightening instructions.
