Adjusting the Stabilizer Plate
Small to Large
If you are changing from small to
large pistol you will need to loosen the
stabilizer plate screw. Fig #9 Place one
upside-down primer on the ramp in front
of the stabilizer plate using an Allen
wrench. Place the primer under the stabi-
lizer plate – the primer should fall off of
the ramp and fall to the bottom of the
bowl. If the primer only falls partially out,
you need to increase the distance
between the stabilizer plate and the edge
of the bowl. Now, retighten the stabilizer
plate.
Large to Small
If you are changing from large pistol
to small, you will need to loosen the sta-
bilizer plate screw. Fig #9 Place one
upside-down primer on the ramp in front
of the stabilizer plate using an Allen
wrench. Place the primer under the stabi-
lizer plate – the primer should fall off of
the ramp and fall to the bottom of the
bowl. If the primer only falls partially out,
you need to increase the distance
between the stabilizer plate and the edge
of the bowl. Now, retighten the stabilizer
plate screw.
Large Magnum Rifle
NOTE: Large magnum rifle primers
are .010” taller than other primers. If you
are setting up to load with large rifle mag-
num primers, you will need to locate the
“B” stabilizer plate (#17295). Using a
1/8” Allen wrench, remove the stabilizer
plate screw,
Fig #9, and the “A” stabilizer
plate (#17294).
Install the “B” stabilizer plate. Place
one upside-down primer on the ramp in
front of the stabilizer plate using an Allen
wrench. Place the primer under the stabi-
lizer plate – the primer should fall off of
the ramp and fall to the bottom of the
bowl. If the primer only falls partially out,
you need to increase the distance
between the stabilizer plate and the edge
of the bowl. Tighten the stabilizer plate
screw.
Replace the clear protective cover.
Maintenance
Warning: Keep your filler bowl clear
of primer residue. Clean with alcohol any
time you see color (yellow, red, green,
etc.). This is residue of the explosive mix
used in the primers. If allowed to accu-
mulate, this residue might cause an
explosion. Your Dillon auto primer filler is
well armored to protect the user against
injury, but it would be foolish to test its
capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Always make sure that you are using
the correct adapter, stabilizer plate and
filler tube.
Problem: The primers fall through the
tube and spill onto the bench. Check to
see that the hitch pin clip is installed.
Problem: I press the blue button and
nothing happens. Make sure that the
machine is plugged into a 110 volt AC
power supply, and also that you have
switched the rocker switch (on the cord)
to the “on” position.
Problem: Primers are flipping over and/or
jamming going into the colored adapter.
See the chart on page 6 to verify that the
correct parts are being used for the primer
size being loaded.
