solid orange in this state. Then proceed to hit jog up, clear the jam and precede
operation.
2. Hard jam. If the jog buttons do not move the shell plate then the Mark 7® Autodrive
needs to be powered down. Once powered down cut the power and when you are sure
that the power is cut
to the Mark 7® Autodrive you may attempt to manually clear the jam. In doing so you
must clear the shell plate and confirm that the press can manually index. Run the full
cycle of the machine a couple of times by manipulating the belt manually and ensure the
machine is in good working order. Then you can repower the machine and continue.
WARNING – Never attempt to clear a jam by placing your fingers in the mechanism of the
Mark 7® Autodrive. Always ensure that the Mark 7® Autodrive is off and power is cut off
to the Mark 7® Autodrive before attempting to clear a jam.
If you experience a jam or any type of activity that requires you to turn off the Mark 7®
Autodrive at the console, you may decide or be required to calibrate the Mark 7®
Autodrive again. Always repeat the process of ensuring that the measurements on your
brass or ammunition are that same that they were in your previous calibration – they will
likely be within acceptable tolerances.
WARNING – Whenever the Mark 7® Autodrive stops due to the clutch engaging and you
believe you have cleared the jam always drop the clutch setting down and the speed of
the Mark 7® Autodrive down to the lowest level and only run one cycle for safety.
Settings
There are a number of settings that your Mark 7® Autodrive came with. They include:
Production rate, digital clutch, dwell, index speed. You can experiment with different settings to
ensure that you are making the highest quality ammunition
The icons at the bottom of the screen either state – STOP at XX or Stop at Ignored. If the latter,
the machine will not stop – the monitor is not in use. If the former, the value that you set is the
value that the machine will stop on. If you set primers to 100 and the stop at value of 10, then
the machine will stop when it has reached 10 primers left (a value of 90 rounds made).
WARNING – It is up the user to develop the right kind of settings to support the particular
type of operation that they are undertaking.
