    No backward inch on GTOZP from either inch buttons. Forwards is fine.

    Any suggestions.

    Regards

    When checking LLS's recommendation, don't neglect looking at the brake relay tied into the backward direction relay

    not at all familiar with gto model but i know on the speedmasters the press will lock you out of reverse inching if you open certain gates over the transfer cylinders. Perhaps one of your switches there have failed????

    Hi,
    if the main motor is brush-less type, you have to the encoder on the main motor. sometimes it gets dirts from the brake (black powder).
