    Hello everybody:)

    Today i've received my used 2-color GTO from 1996. Unfortunelly i am new to this machines:)
    I want to clean it from protective oil before my service will came.
    But it looks like it is locked (probably it was done for transporting purposes) - i cannot turn it with hand crank. Where this lock is located?

    best regards.

    Pull up the safe, it ha s a hole to put your finger in and pull out the crank lever to rotate the machine.

    Two things it could be,

    First check to see that the brake on the main motor is locked off. This is only if the machine is not under power. If you have power the machine will electronicly release the brake when the hand crank is inserted.

    Second thing it could be is if you have a perfecting machine. If so, make sure you are inserting the crank in only halfway. Halfway is only to turn the press by hand, and inserting the crank all the way is for doing for changover. Hope this helps.
