Figure 9: Ratchet mechanism removed
WARNING
If you remove the ratcheting system please be very careful to not over or under index the machine –
double loads and squibs can occur as a result of this situation and it is your responsibility to know when
the press has created this situation. An example is: the digital clutch engages at the bottom of the
stroke –a primer is already inserted in one case and powder in another. Jog Up or manually clear the
shellplate to fix the jam and then activate Run on the press. This would create a potentially dangerous
situation. The correct resolution of this is to turn the press off, remove the power cord. Manually
manipulate the press to fix the impacted areas, clear the press, and start the loading process again while
discarding the affected rounds.
