Hello!

I just bought a ribber today, I've wanted one for ages, it's a Brother
KR850. I'm trying to set the machine up for 2 x 2 rib, and can follow the
instructions until "slide the carriages across the bed and check there are
no jams". They always jam about 2" in from the right. What am I doing
wrong?


Check the sponge bar on the main bed


Hmm... it seems ok, I guess I could swap in another one I've got. Thanks for
the tip, I'll give it a go!


OK, I replaced the sponge bar with a newer one, and still no joy. I
got a cut finger for my trouble, too! It definitely seems to be the
main carriage that is causing the problem

Go to
http://www.burgoyne.demon.co.uk/950_car.jpg
and there is a picture of the underside of a carriage from a Brother
950.
Make sure that the 2 little levers indicated by the arrows are spring
loaded to the position they are shown here. (all Brother carriages are
the same in this respect). The spring loop may have come off the little
peg underneath.
