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 650 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 650 reloading press. This document

Set-Up Procedures

The Mark 7® 650 Autodrive is manufactured with superior craftsmanship, quality

materials and 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. 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 XL 650 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 be directly 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. Always have your loader properly grounded to a high-quality 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 shoulder bolt is adjusted so that the shell plate turns freely but is

not too loose. Ensure that the index ring pawl enables the shell plate to move

completely from one index position to the next. Verify that the 650 shell plate is aligned

with the tool head using the 650 alignment pin.

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 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.

2. Removing 650 handle

Using a 7/8”wrench and a pin to lock the rotation of the handle remove the lock nut on the

bottom of the handle as shown below. Depending on the age of the 650 press it may be

required to punch out the handle out of the 650 knuckle.

Figure 4: Removing 650 Handle

3. Removing 650 Knuckle and pin

Using a 1/8” allen key remove the set screw on the bottom of the 650 ram and slide out the

knuckle pin. This pin and set screw will be re-used later in the assembly, set aside in a safe

place.

Figure 5: Removing Set Screw from 650 Ram (Do Not Discard Set Screw)

Figure 6: Removing Knuckle Pin (Do not Discard Pin)

4. Removing Link Arms From 650 - Using 2X 7/8” or (22mm) wrenches remove the nuts on

the right light link arm. Slide off the right link arm, then pull out the left link arm attached with the

pins as an assembly as shown in the figure below.

Figure 7: Removing Link Arms (Remove Left Link Arm)

Figure 8: Link Arms, Knuckle and Pin Removed From 650.

5. Removing The Bottom Pin From The Left Side Link

Place the lower pin in a bench vice or vice grips. If possible wrap the pin in a thick cloth or

rubber sheet to avoid imperfections due to clamping. Remove the lock nut and slide the left link

arm off the pin.

Figure 9: Removing Lower Pin on Left Side Link Arm

Figure 10: Left Link Removed

6. Reinstalling The Link Arms To The 650

Slide the upper pin in the left side link into the 650 frame. Install the right side link on the pin

and tighten the lock nuts, keep the lock nuts loose so the link arms can still rotate. Final

tightening will occur when the 650 is mounted to the autodrive.

Figure 11: Re-Installing Link Arms to 650 Press (Do Not Fully Tighten at This Stage)

7. Connecting Mark 7® Crank To 650 Ram

Clean the Dillon knuckle pin with alcohol and coat the surface with fresh synthetic multi-purpose

grease. Add grease to the contact points on the Mark 7® knuckle and insert the pin through the

crank and knuckle and lock in place with the set screw.

Figure 12: Installing Mark 7®Knuckle to Crank.

There are 2X set screws on the lower crank that lock it to drive shaft. Due to variations in the

650 press these may need to be backed out in order to line up the 650 ram to the Mark 7®

knuckle properly.

Figure 13: Set Screws on Lower Crank

8. Mounting 650 Onto Mark 7® Autodrive - Place the XL 650 onto the top plate of the mount

on the autodrive. Using a 7/16”wrench partially tighten the ¼-20 X 1.5” hex head screws.

Rotate the link arms up and away from the front support.

Figure 14: XL 650 Mounted to Mark 7 Mount

Insert the M14 Bolt through the Mark 7® knuckle and through the ram. We recommend moving

the shell plate platform to the mid/upper position so the index ring isn’t engaged. Make sure

both washers on the M14 bolt as shown in the figure below. Partially tighten with a pair of 7/8”

(22 mm) wrenches.

Figure 15: Inserting M14 Bolt through 650 Ram (Shown Partially Tightened)

Rotate the link arms back down and thread the ½ -13”X 1.25”hex head as shown below

Figure 16: 1/2“ Hex Head Screws Partially Tightened

Now that everything is connected, fully tighten the XL 650 to the riser mount, top and bottom link

arms, and the M14 Screw through 650 ram. If the 4X set screws on the lower crank were

loosened during the install re-tighten with medium Loctite if possible.

Figure 17: XL 650 fully mounted

9. Installing Crank Shield

Remove the backing tape on the crank shield and place the shield around the crank on the right

side of the machine. Gently flex the plastic so you can adhere the 3M tape to the backside of

the front support and front side of the riser mount.

Figure 18: Shield Installed (Left). Removing Shield (Right)

Firmly press on the inside of shield to allow the adhesive to achieve a proper bond. To remove

the shield gently pry at each corner with a flat head screw driver to disengage the 3M

tape as shown in the right image below.

10. Tablet & holder installation

The tablet holder can be mounted directly to the 650 case feeder pole or remotely next to the

machine. First attach tablet holder arm to the tablet holder. The tablet holder will make a

positive clicking sound when it is seated correctly. Clamp the tablet holder to the desired

location.

Figure 19: Recommended Tablet Mounting Location (Standard 9 Inch Tablet Shown

Above)

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 spent primers and watch

for bullets toppling or powder spilling. The best vantage point for this is standing to the

front left or right side of the machine.
