Troubleshooting Guide
4.3.2 Truing the Dragon Support Beam
If the Support Beam is not true, use the swivel levelers to align the machine.
1. Loosen the Floor Brackets
If the Floor Brackets are in place, use a 9/16 in. wrench to loosen the floor brackets on the
machine legs. Loosen the concrete anchor bolts holding the machine to the floor.
2. Adjust the Swivel Levelers
To adjust the Swivel Levelers, ensure the jam nut is loose and backed off to the base of the
Swivel Leveler. Place a 9/16 in. wrench on the hex adjustment at the base of the Swivel Leveler.
When viewing from above, turn clockwise to raise the leg, turn counterclockwise to lower the
leg.
3. Check if the Machine is Level
Use a bubble level to level the machine. Also, ensure the machine remains straight by sighting
along the length of the Support Beam or using the string provided with the machine.
4. Tighten the Swivel Levelers and Floor Brackets
Once the Rail Beam is true, tighten the Swivel Levelers. Tighten the Floor Brackets.
5. Ensure the Machine is Straight and Level
After the Swivel Levers and Floor Brackets have been tightened, re-check the Support Beam
to ensure it has remained true.
Tip
Bend-Tech recommends mounting the Dragon to the floor of the shop whenever possible.
Mounting the machine to the floor will help ensure the machine remains true.
4.3.3 Rail Splices
Improperly spaced Rail Splices can affect Trolley movement and possibly affect cut quality.
Ensure that each Rail Splice intersects with the next as seamlessly as possible. Ensure that all
of the Rail splices are fastened properly to the Rail.
