Alignment of the Carrier to the Turret
This is an adjustment that need never be done unless
you disassemble the carrier from the ram.
The draw bolt head, at the bottom of the ram,
MUST be loosened so the carrier can be rotated on
the end of the ram. With the index flipper in the “in
position” and the carrier at the pull out rib position,
swing the carrier clockwise (viewed from top) un-
til center hub of index flipper contacts the pull-out rib.
