    Suggest you turn machine off.
    Disconnect the air line to machine and pull carousel back.
    This is what I've done but it isn't a Fadal.

    Maybe you have M codes that will turn it manually.

    You can push the Carousel back with your hands,no problem.

    My fadal vmc15 has had this problem before. The carousel should move back by hand. If it doesn't want to move you might have to move the bar that actually moves the carousel by hand a little bit.
