Adjusting the Top Wiper

The Top Wiper is intended to remove nose heavy bullets that do
not fall off when pointed nose down on the Bullet Feed Plate .
Place two bullets onto the Bullet Feed Wheel near the Top
Wiper, one with the nose toward the center, and the other with
the base toward the center. Push the nose down a little on the
bullet that is nose toward so the base is sticking up.
Adjust the second wiper spring and wiper screw to just miss
the nose of the first bullet but kick the base of the second
bullet.
Tighten down the two wing nuts and the thumb screw.

Switching Drop Tube Funnel

Select the correct size of Drop Funnel for your application.
9MM/38/.357 ..............(375 I.D.) ..........Item No. 399216
40 S&W/10 MM ...........(406 I.D.) ..........Item No. 399215
.44/.451/.452 ..............(530 I.D.) ..........Item No. 399214
Insert the Drop Funnel into Tube Spring Clamp. You will want
the front edge (outside edge) of the Drop Funnel as close to the
Bullet Feed Wheel Pistol without touching the Bullet Feed Wheel
Pistol.
Tighten the Knurled Thumb Screw on the side of the Tube
Spring Clamp. Only snug this screw, DO NOT over tighten this
screw.

Switching the Drop Tube

Select the correct size of Drop Tube for your application.
9MM/38/.357 ..............(375 I.D.) ..........Item No. 399219
40 S&W .......................(406 I.D.) ..........Item No. 399243
.44/.451/.452 ..............(530 I.D.) ..........Item No. 399221
Slip the Drop Tube into the hole on the bottom right side of the
Bullet Feed Hopper. Insert the end of the Drop Tube into the
back end of the Drop Funnel. Insert the straight end of the Drop
Tube Holder into the hole on the bottom right side of the hopper.
Next place the Drop Tube into the hook of Drop Tube Holder.

Testing Hopper Setup

At this time, place about 100 bullets into the Bullet Feed
Hopper and turn on the Switch on the bottom right corner of the
Bullet Feed Hopper.
You will want to hold the end of the Drop Tube in your hand at
this time to catch the bullets that will fall out of the tube.
At this time, make sure you have the Bullet Wipers set correctly.
If they are not, shut off the Switch and readjust the Bullet
Wipers. You may need to do this a couple of times, until you
have them set correctly and the bullets are falling base first
every time.
If the hopper plate is jumping or not rotating smoothly, your
Drop Tube Funnel is too close to the Bullet Feed Wheel Pistol.
This needs backed off until the Bullet Feed Wheel Pistol rotates
smoothly.
If the bullets are feeding correctly, tighten down the Bullet
Guide Plate Thumb Screw, and Snug Lock Nut.
