Decapper O & M Manual Rev D
It is expected that at some stage you WILL break pins, and occasionally
guide rods for a variety of reasons (rocks, dirt, nestled cases, Berdan
primed cases etc.) and with extended use (or abuse) you will eventually
wear out other parts on the Decapper. Replacement parts are available
from Rollsizer.com.
The Decapper motor WILL get warm especially when new / running in.
The motor and gearboxes will often get up to 75Deg C (167F), especially
when new. This is normal. The plastic components have been designed
for the motor / gearbox temperatures and will not be affected. At slower
speeds the Decapper will have a high frequency whine, this is normal and
does not affect the operation. Yes, it’s annoying, sorry, that’s the way it
is.
It is expected the gearmotor will take time to bed in, this will mean the
Decapper will run slightly slower initially and stall more readily in some
situations. Likewise the Decapper is expected to require adjustment in
the linkage between the decapper body and the case pusher. Refer to
the manual for details. Please read it a few times before attempting any
adjustment.
Please do NOT modify the decapper outside of the instructions included
in this manual. The Decapper is surprisingly complex and we ask you to
discuss this with us BEFORE you modify it.
