You might consider homing the head prior to energizing the high pressure hoses. Only a sequence control.

Ian, thank You for a suggestion on playing with HOME_OFFSET value for fine-tuning the home position. I find that in some cases it might be easier than adjusting the home switch itself. > I think it need be nothing more complex than a semi-circular metal disc on > the rear shaft > extension of the motor and an optical slot detector. Yes, it seems like a pretty simple setup to me too, Thank You for an idea!
