    Okuma Howa Turret Loose

    I just bought a 1994 Okuma Howa ACT 2SP V5 with FANUC 18T control. This is a twin spindle machine with a left/right switch on the control panel. The right hand turret is in the shipping position (all the way down in Z) and near the chuck. The turret is loose - I can wiggle it by hand. I am getting a EX208 error on the turret. I do not have manuals for the machine.
    Can anyone tell me what to do?

    take away tool number plate (3 or 4 bolts) and unscrew big bolts under it. This way You will start to disassemble the turret.
    This knowlegde is based on a bit later 2ACT lathe turret. Suppose, it wil work.

    Thanks for your help. We ended up taking the turret valve cover off and cycling the hydraulic valves until the turret was in the correct position. Something must have happened during shipping to move the turret.
