Important Safety Instructions

Read this manual completely prior to installation and operation. Understand all safety and operating

instructions. Failure to comply with the WARNINGS and instructions may result in serious injury or

death. WARNINGS throughout this manual will be symbolized by the yellow WARNING symbols seen

below.

WARNING –Activities using the Mark 7 1050 Autodrive are inherently dangerous and may lead to injury

and even death. Actions as a result of using the Mark 7 product are solely the responsibility of the user

–if you get injured through the reloading process or through the use of ammunition as a result of the

reloading process it is your fault.

WARNING

Mark 7 equipment should only be operated by trained personnel that follow all safety precautions.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

This product is designed to be used by reloading personnel in conjunction only with a fully functioning

and well lubricated Dillon 1050 reloading press. Its use should be limited to experienced personnel only.

All personnel using this equipment are assumed to have prior experience setting up and operating a

Dillon 1050 reloading press. This document contains basic operating and maintenance instructions only.

WARNING - Never leave your Mark 7 Autodrive unattended while it is operating.

WARNING –Never run the Mark 7 Autodrive without the belt guard fully attached to the baseplate.

WARNING –Never operate the Mark 7 Autodrive if it is out of factory specification.

WARNING –Never operate the Mark 7 Autodrive unless it is completely within Dillon Precision factory

specifications and is operating within factory parameters. This includes the shell plate locating pins and

other machine-specific features. Read and understand the latest Dillon Precision 1050 manual for your

make and model machine and ensure that you fully understand the Dillon directions.

WARNING –Never operate the Mark 7 Autodrive with any third party accessories that substantially

change the operation of the Mark 7 Autodrive

WARNING –Never operate the Mark 7 Autodrive while impaired.

WARNING –Never operate that Mark 7 Autodrive without using high quality brass and always use

sufficient lubrication on your brass while operating the Mark 7 Autodrive.

WARNING - Mark 7 provides you with a tablet mount. Never operate the Mark 7 Autodrive without the

tablet securely fastened in the tablet mount and fixed to the case feeder post. The operator must be in a

position to operate the tablet while observing all critical operations of the press. Failure to do so can

create an inherently dangerous situation.

WARNING –the Mark 7 Autodrive is designed to help automate the process of loading and processing of

ammunition. Never operate the Mark 7 Autodrive at speeds higher than you have tested and are

comfortable with for the type of reloading or processing that you are undertaking. Run the Mark 7

Autodrive at the slowest possible setting to create quality ammunition.

RESERVED

WARNING

Always wear protective clothing. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

Always wear protective eyewear to protect eyes from being injured. Flying debris may result when

using this equipment.

Always wear protective clothing that covers arms, legs and neck to protect from injury.

It is the responsibility of the user to insure that appropriate protective clothing and equipment are used

to provide protection from those hazards to which personnel are exposed or could be exposed while

working with this product.

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 as follows: The digital clutch engages at the bottom

of the stroke. A primer is already inserted in one case and powder in another. You Jog Up 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. Manually manipulate the press to fix the

impacted areas, clear the press, and start the loading process again while discarding the affected

rounds.

Set-Up Procedures

The Mark 7 Autodrive is manufactured with superior craftsmanship and quality that is backed by a

factory warranty.

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 following instructions

carefully.

WARNING

In order to ensure proper operation and avoid damage to your press perform the pre-installation steps.

Prior to installation perform the following manual press checks and adjustments (see Dillon Precision

Super 1050 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. It is

strongly recommended that you bolt the Mark 7 1050 autodrive base into your workbench. The

baseplate is strong aluminum but you will be able to drill holes after unscrewing the baseplate

feet. You may make the holes any size that fits the bolts you are using. Small vibrations can

have an unpredictable impact on the operation of the machine. Ensure that the machine does

not move whatsoever when operating.

2. Always have your loader grounded to a high-quality, external grounding line.

3. Ensure that the press operates according to Dillon Precision specifications before you install the

autodrive. Any modifications to your machine outside of the Dillon standard configuration

and parameters will void the Mark 7® warranty. 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.

4. Check that there is no powder or other debris under the shell plate. Lubricate the press as

described in the Dillon Precision user's manual. Keep the shell plate clean.

5. There will likely be three (3) cables coming from the machine: the power to the casefeeder,

bullet feeder, and autodrive. These must be connected to separate power strips and separate

circuits if at all possible.

1. Removal of equipment from the packing carton

Upon removal carefully inspect contents for damage. Damage that occurs during shipment should be

reported immediately to the carrier.

RESERVED

2. Determine mounting holes for either Super 1050 or RL 1050

Depending on whether you have a Super 1050 or an RL 1050 there are specific mounting holes for each.

You can see in the picture above the two sets of four holes each. When mounting either 1050 to the

baseplate, thread all four bolts into the baseplate before final tightening. Torque the ¼-20 screws to 10-

12 ft lbs (14-16 Nm).

The mounting holes in the super are the closest to the front of the baseplate and the holes for the RL are

the farthest.

Be mindful not to drag the bottom of the press against the baseplate. We recommend that you place

the bottom of the press as close to the mounting holes as possible in order to avoid unnecessary

scratches to the anodized finish of the baseplate.

Once mounted articulate the handle so that the press is at the top of stoke and proceed to loosen and

remove the set screw that holds the handle in place.

3. Mounting large sprocket

There are two sets holes in the sprocket; one set for the super and one set for the RL.

Make sure the press in in the UP position. Remove the lever and slide the large sprocket onto the 1050

input shaft. Position the sprocket so the labels are upright. Next insert the link bar and rotate the

sprocket so the correct pair of holes lines up with the link bar.

Thread in the long ⅜-24 set screw into the 1050 input shaft in order to pinch the link bar.

Then insert the sprocket cap and fasten with the ⅜ nut. Torque to 10-12 ft lb (14 - 16 Nm).

Torque both 1/4 -20 screws 10-12 ft lbs.

RESERVED

4. Belt installation

Loosen both motor mount hex bolts with a 9/16 wrench. Then rotate the large sprocket

counterclockwise so that press in the full downstroke position.

WARNING

The press may rotate back to the up position so you may need an assistant to hold it in position.

Place belt over small sprocket making sure motor mount is all the way forward. Loop belt under bottom

section of large sprocket and rotate the large sprocket clockwise to properly seat the belt.

5. Belt tensioning

Using the 1050 lever that you removed from your machine, tension the belt by prying against the

tensioning bolt and front of motor mount as shown in the illustration. A properly tensioned belt can

only be moved about 1 cm. Tighten the two motor mount cap screws to maintain the tension. Torque

them to 12-15 ft lb (16-20 Nm).

WARNING

Belt must be properly tensioned for the drive to operate correctly and safely. Belt tension should be

checked periodically. –when tensioned properly it should be tight with just a little flexibility from the

rubber material –you should be able to push down on the belt and it should feel firm.

RESERVED

6. Belt Guard installation

Remove the front and back belt guard mounting screws from the baseplate. While holding up the

washer on the middle screw slide the belt guard into position. Then re-install the front and back

washers and screws. The washers should rest against the inner surface of the guard into the baseplate.

Tightening the screws is best done using a 5/32” ball end Allen wrench. Do not over-tighten.

WARNING

Never operate the machine without the belt guard installed properly.

7. Removing the ratchet system on the 1050

The Mark 7 Autodrive works best if the ratcheting system on the Dillon is removed –but that is a

decision best made by the user.

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. You Jog Up 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. Manually manipulate the press to fix the

impacted areas, clear the press, and start the loading process again while discarding the affected

rounds.

RESERVED

8. Tablet holder install

Attach tablet holder arm to the tablet holder. The tablet holder will make a positive clicking sound when

it is seated correctly. Once attached, clamp tablet holder arm to brass feeder post at the desired

position. To power tablet, press and hold the button on the upper right side of the tablet.

Once tablet holder is positioned correctly, carefully pull tablet holder laterally to expand enough to

accommodate tablet as seen in picture. Be mindful that the arms do not cover the power or the micro-

USB inputs on the tablet.

The tablet holder is a two piece design and the bracket holding the tablet can slide laterally from the ball

join –this is by design. If the tablet holder becomes loose at this point, slide the tablet holder back into

position at the ball joint.

WARNING

TABLET POWER

BUTTON

Ensure that the cables are coming from the tablet to the right of the unit. They should be zip tied or

otherwise gathered so that they do not interfere with the operator’s vision of the unit and are

completely out of the way of the operation of the unit.

WARNING

The operator of the press should always stand in front of the machine, facing the tablet with hands near

the tablet to press the STOP button in the event the press needs to stop. You should visually see the

decapping die decap primers and watch for bullets toppling or powder spilling. The best vantage point

for this is standing immediately infront of the press.

9. Tablet cable outlet installation

Locate and the insert power cable into the tablet’s power jack located directly below the Micro-USB.

Insert Micro-USB into the input located directly above the power jack. The Micro-USB provided with the

machine may be different from the picture above.

RESERVED

10. Console inputs

Make the following inputs into the console:

1. Micro-USB cable coming from tablet into left most micro-USB input on console

2. Standard USB A coming from motor to standard USB input on console (input is to the right of micro-

USB input on console)

3. Eight pin Molex connector from the motor to the eight pin input to the right of the USB input on the

console.

4. Four pin Molex connector from the motor to the bottom on the console, to the right of the power

connection

11. Power connection input

Make power connection by inserting the power cord connection into the console

WARNING

Never power on the console switch without the 4-pin molex connector plugged in and never install this

connector with the power already on since the DC voltage would damage the motor's input contacts.

RESERVED

12. Low primer sensor install (New alarm style on left. Old alarm style on right)

New style primer alarm mount Old style primer alarm mount

Upon checkout for your purchase of the Mark 7 Autodrive you would have been asked the style of

primer alarms you have with your existing 1050. We supply the appropriate mounts based on this

answer. Mounting on the new style primer alarm requires a Torx screws that thread into existing holes

in side. Mounting for the old style requires replacing the bottom 8-32 screws with the screws supplied

with the mount.

A weight can be put at the top of the primer follower stick if needed to ensure accurate depression of

the hardware primer sensor.

Plug in the Low primer sensor to the connector port on the right side of the console shown below.

13. For Double Alpha or KISS bullet feeder users

There is an external capacitor included with your Mark 7 autodrive. Ensure that this is attached to the

bullet dropper assembly between that assembly and the cables to the bullet feeder to ensure error-free

operation.
