Step 5: Cycling the Machine
At this point your assembly should be complete. Gently pull the operating handle towards you, make a full stroke to the bottom and up again. The shellplate should be indexing and the primer slide (#20318*) should function. The casefeed plunger (#13073*) should travel forward to the shellplate. Make sure that you repeat this several times to gain an understanding of the various functions of the machine before you start reloading.
  Now plug in the casefeed motor and activate the switch. The casefeed plate should turn smoothly within the casefeed bowl.
  Assuming that all is well, proceed with Loading Components.
