Assembling the 2-pc Square Tubing.
Place Lower Case Feeder Stand next to mounting holes on
the back of the AP
™ press to determine proper orientation of
the Lower Case Feeder Stand. Once the “top” of the Lower
Case Feeder Stand has been determined, place the Lower
Case Feeder Stand onto a block of scrap wood. Next insert
the Tube Connector into the Lower Case Feeder Stand until
the holes align. Place the Feed Tube Mounting Bracket onto
the Lower Case Feeder Stand so the Feed Tube Mounting
bracket is on the open end of the Tube Connector (see
photo). Place a ¼-20 x 1.5" bolt through the Feed Tube
Mounting bracket and Lower Case Feeder Stand and loosely
attach the flat washer, lock washer, and nut.
Place Upper Case Feeder Stand over the Tube Connector
until it touches the Lower Case Feeder Stand. Place a
¼-20 x 1.5" bolt through the Feed Tube Mounting bracket
and Upper Case Feeder Stand and securely attach the flat
washer, lock washer, and nut. Tighten the lower nut in the
Lower Case Feeder Stand.
Attach assembly onto AP
™ Press.

If your AP ™ press has a cartridge box bracket that mounts
on top of the press, it will need to be changed out for the
Main Bracket (42). To do this, unbolt the press from the
bench top, remove the old cartridge box bracket, and slide
the new Main Bracket under the press so the two raised
holes fit into the press mounting holes (see exploded view
for correct orientation). Re-mount the press to the bench
top using the same hardware that was previously used to
bolt the press down.
