Automatic Primer Feed Assembly
Installing the Primer Slide, Large or Small
Lower the handle.
Place the Primer Slide (15) flat side up in the groove on the 
Sub-Plate (24) and slide forward. The bump on the bottom 
side of the slide is the travel stop as well as an alignment 
guide while the slide is in the retracted position. 
Attach the Spring to the Sub-Plate with the open end up (you 
may need to use needle nose pliers). Attach the other end of 
the Spring to the pin on the Primer Slide.
Installing the Primer Punch Assembly, 
Large or Small
Raise the Ram to the top of the stroke.
Screw the Primer Seater Punch (26) into the Sub-Plate from 
the bottom side.
Tighten the Primer Seater Punch assembly until it is snug 
using a wrench. (Do not over-tighten the Primer Punch).
Installing the Primer Tubes
Place the tube of your choice (large or small primers) in the 
center hole of the Primer Body with the shoulder section of 
the tube facing down. Make sure the tube is fully seated in 
the Primer Body (14).
