The RL1050 has been shipped to
you with either the large or small primer system installed. To change the system from
large to small or vise versa, follow these instructions:
Be sure all primers have been removed from the primer system. Then remove the Early
Warning System and the knurled cap. Then remove the magazine (#13673 - large or #13879 -
small) and replace it with the new size magazine. Be sure the key on the tip (#14003 -
large or #14024 - small) is in the slot and the magazine is all the way down in place.
Pull the operating handle to its down position.
Loosen the lever arm bracket screw (#13732) and slide the bracket assembly up four
inches and lock it in place.
Raise the operating handle, remove the two primer feed body screws (#13363) and
lift the primer feed body assembly (#20773) off.
Remove the ratchet cam (#11686) from the toolhead (#20420) (Figure 19).
Remove the mechanical return rod (#13960) from the powder measure bellcrank
(#13871) by releasing the rod clip (#13929) (Figure
20). |

Read complete toolhead and shellplate
removal instructions before proceeding.
Remove the casefeed tube (#13761) place it on your bench and take the toolhead off.
Now you can remove the shellplate locknut (#20311) by loosening the four lock ring screws
about four complete turns. This will allow you to remove, and replace, the primer slide
(#20311 - large or #20317 - small); bushing (#13031 - large or #13222 - small); spring
(#13858) and punch (#12849 - large or #13307 - small) with the replacement parts for your
new primer size.
You should clean your machine at this time. Note that there is a specially designed
screwdriver supplied for the bushing (found in your accessory bag). Prior to installation,
lube the base of the primer punch. Now adjust your new punch (#12849 - large or #13307 -
small) so that it is flush with the bushing (#13031 - large or #13222 - small) by turning
set screw (#13226) up or down. If the primer punch is too low, dirt will collect on top of
it leaving imprints on your primers. If it is too high it will bind the slide. Note: You
can use the slide for a guide. Slide it back and forth over the bushing to check your
adjustments. |
