The KUHN GF5202THA machine may not fold due to mechanical issues, lack of proper maintenance, or incorrect operation. Possible reasons include hydraulic or mechanical linkage problems, debris obstructing movement, or wear and tear on folding components. Ensuring proper lubrication, checking for blockages, and verifying correct operation procedures can help resolve the issue.
