Hi, another problem for all specialist to help me with. Yesterday I
tried for the first time to use my ribber. I put it in (according to a
manual)double checked all settings and tried to cast on for a 1x1 rib.
Ha, for some reason, I can not even cast on, the yarn catches only on
main bed needles, not on a ribber bed needles? My manual does not
answering any trouble shooting questions. By the way I know the ribber
works, I bought it second hand from a lady, who let me try it before I
took the machine apart. So this is a not problem with machine, this is
something I am doing wrong, but what?

Tell us step by step, EXACTLY what you do, and what you do it with, when
you attempt to cast on.
