Let's Begin Making A Few Rounds, Page 3
11. Push the roller handle (#22183) aft to seat the primer into the hull at station two and place a new plastic wad in the wad guide (#16681).
  Special note: An important step in the loading process - remember when pushing the roller handle (#22183) aft to seat the new shotshell primer, you must also place a new plastic wad into the wad guide (#16681) at the same time. See Figure 50
12. Move the roller handle (#22183) down. The first hull is being formed and folded with the starter crimp die (#16747) at station four.
13. Return the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft position. All the hulls advance one station. The first hull is now in station five. (Figure 53)

15. Move the roller handle (#22183) down. The first hull is at the last process. The final crimp and seating die finishes closing the top. A final seat plug (#16751) presses the hull back down and below the top. (Figure 54)
16.
Return the roller handle (#22183) to its rest position. The first hull advances and moves out of the machine. (Figure 55)

17. Again, push the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft stop, seat the primer into the hull at station two and place a new wad in the wad guide (#16681).
  We've now reached the stage in the reloading process where all the stations in the machine are filled. From here on out every complete stroke of the roller handle (#22183) will give you one completed round.

WHEN OPERATING THE ROLLER HANDLE:
Pay close attention to the hulls, noting the changes that take place as they go through the machine. Pace yourself when operating this machine. Do not crash the roller handle (#22183) down against its stops. Do not snatch the roller handle (#22183) upward. It should take two or more seconds to move the roller handle (#22183) from its rest position, down, and then back to its rest position.
