Garter carriage problems!

Hello!

I just acquired a garter carriage (KG88). Everything seems to be working ok,
except that the carriage does not move - the motor goes though. The garter
needle seems a little bent - is that what's wrong?

I'm really disappointed because I was dying to try it out, too!

Any advice welcome.

Regards,

Jane

Silly question I know, but you have got the rail connected I suppose?
When I first got a GC I made that mistake the first time I used it.

The needle is supposed to be bent.
You must have a full set of needles on the main bed even if you are not
knitting on all of them.

Did you try putting it outside the marks on the knitting machine ,then turn
on the start button.

Doh! Yes, I must have skipped that bit in the manual! Oops! All is working
now! I saw one of these once on display at the NEC, but obviously wasn't
paying too much attention!

Thanks for your help!
