RCBS ProMelt Electric Lead Furnace - Manual (Page 3)

● Be sure your melting pot and heat source are stable, and the table or bench is solid.
● An ingot mould or other container should be placed under the spout of bottom feed pots to catch lead
that may leak.
RECORD KEEPING
● Keep complete records of reloads. Apply a descriptive label to each box showing the date produced, and the primer,
powder and bullet used. Labels for this purpose are packed with SPEER bullets.
Since RCBS has no control over the choice of components, the manner in which they are assembled, the use of this
product, or the guns in which the resulting ammunition may be used, no responsibility, either expressed or implied,
is assumed for the use of ammunition reloaded with this product.
INTRODUCTION
The heart of your RCBS Pro-Melt is the accurate, industrial quality thermostat located inside the unit. The placement
of the remote sensor, on the bottom surface of the melting pot, senses the actual temperature of the molten alloy. The
bottom-feed nozzle ensures smooth, even pouring with the weight of alloy in the melting pot providing the pressure
needed to fill mould cavities and eliminate shrinkage voids.

INSTALLATION
This furnace has been shipped assembled, except for attaching the handle, handle knob, adjustment bracket, and
mould guide collars. To assemble:
● Drawing 1: Using the 5 /
32
Allen wrench, unscrew the 10 /
32
x 3 /
8
socket head cap screw from the left rim of the melting
pot. Using this screw, attach the handle fulcrum A onto the left rim of the melting pot.
● Using the 5 /
32
Allen wrench, unscrew the 10 /
32
x 3 /
8
socket head cap screw from the right rim of the melting pot. Using
this screw, attach the adjustment bracket B onto the right rim of the melting pot. Position the adjustment bracket
as shown in Drawing 1.
● Insert the nozzle shut-off pin C into the nozzle. First remove the protective plastic coating from the end of the nozzle
shut-off pin.
● Insert the handle D through the adjustment bracket and nozzle shut-off pin slots from the right side of the melting
pot. Attach the left end of the handle to the handle fulcrum A with the
5 /
40
x 1 /
2
round head screw.
● Screw the nozzle shut-off pin C to the handle with the 5 /
40
x 3 /
8
round head screw.
● Screw the 10 /
32
x 1 1 /
4

hex nut E into the top of the adjustment bracket B.
● Attach the handle knob to the handle with the 8 /
32
x 3 /
8
pan head screw.
● Drawing 2: Using the 3 /
32
Allen wrench, loosen the setscrew in the mould guide housing bushing F. Adjust the mould
guide G at the desired height. Position clear of the nozzle to avoid any molten alloy which might drip from the nozzle
while using the Pro-Melt.
● Slide the mould guide collars H onto the mould guide G. Position the collars to guide the mould and tighten the
setscrews with the
3 /
