Set-Up Procedures
Prior to installation perform the following manual press checks and adjustments (see Evolution
TM
User
Manual for location of some of the items below):
1. Ensure that the press/Autodrive combination is on a very solid surface that does not move. The
Mark 7 Autodrive is designed to sit on the 4 rubber feet in the corners, but it can also directly be
bolted to your work bench by removing the 4X rubber feet in the corners, use ¼-20 bolts to
fasten the baseplate to the work surface from underneath. Small vibrations can have an
unpredictable impact on the operation of the machine. Ensure that the machine does not move
whatsoever when operating.
2. Ensure that the press operates according to Evolution
TM
specifications defined in the user
manual before you install the Autodrive. Ensure that the shell plate retaining collar is adjusted
so that the shell plate turns freely but is not too loose. Ensure that the index pawl enables the
shell plate to move completely from one index position to the next. Refer to the press user 's
manual for the location of the pawl adjustment screw. Verify that the alignment pins pass
cleanly into their respective holes and are not used to complete the index motion.
3. Check that there is no powder or other debris under the shell plate. Lubricate the press as
described in the Evolution
TM
user's manual. Keep the shellplate clean.
4. There will likely be three (3) cables coming from the machine: the power to the case feeder,
bullet feeder, and Autodrive. For best performance we recommend to keep the case feeder
and Mr.Bulletfeeder cables separated from our system cables if possible.
WARNING -Only use Mark 7® accessories with the Mark 7® Autodrive. Mark 7® equipment is prepared
and tested by Mark 7® prior to delivery. To place the equipment into service, please review the

WARNING - In order to ensure proper operation and avoid damage to your press perform the pre-
