acramatic 2100e Hawk 150 MDI position wrong but program position correct???

[fettersp]

I have a hawk 150 that has been idle for a month now. my father passed away and I inheriated his machine shop. I usually run the kia lathe but need to learn to set up the hawk.
My father has a step by step set up guide for it but my issue is in mdi. When I tell the machine to go to X1.533 it will go way below the part instead of right above it and I don't know why. If the machine is in program mode and I tell it to go to X1.533 it will go right above the part?????? I'm trying to set the z zero but I'm unable to until I figure out why MDI mode is acting this way?

The code he uses for it is

T11 M6
M2
G92 S3000
G0 X1.533
G1 G96 G95 X -032 S500 F.006 M13
G0 X1.533
M0
G92.1 Z0


The instructions will say when to run each part of the program to set z zero.

FetterSP,
If you run this code in MDI does it work properly?
