Hello again,
I think I’ve narrowed my trip problem down to a lever on the back of the press that isn’t fully engaging. When in trip mode, this lever is coming only halfway up to it’s destination. I figured a spring must be broken, but I couldn’t find one on the opposite side of the lever, or even an indication of one. I’ve looked at the parts manual buthaven’t figured it out. I’d greatly appreciate some knowledgeable advice, or some X-ray Specs! Thanks so much.
Paul, thank you so much for the direction. The arm was indeed too long but we couldn’t adjust it with the set screw which had been tightened to it’s limit. We removed the back panel and discovered that by removing the pin in the joint, we could rotate the whole rectangle to take up the slack. I apologize for my poor vocabulary.
There should be a set screw somewhere on the horizontal arm (to the left outside the frame of the photo).
If that’s not the fix, then turn that upper arm by hand. If the wedge doesn’t move then the pin that passes through the collar and shaft (connected to the wedge) is sheared.
