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. The
Mark 7 autodrive is designed to sit on the 4 rubber feet in the corners, but it can also 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 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 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 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. Determine mounting holes for either Super 1050/RL 1050/RL1100/CP2000
Figure 2: Mounting Location on baseplate for RL and Super
Depending on whether you have a Super 1050/RL 1100/RL 1050/CP2000 there are specific mounting holes
for each. You can see in the picture above the two sets of four holes each. When mounting the press to
the baseplate, thread all four bolts into the baseplate before final tightening (RL1100/CP2000 uses the
longer bolts). Torque the ¼-20 screws to 4-5 ft. lbs. (5.5-6.5 Nm). For RL 1100 use longer ¼-20 X 1-7/8”
screws from RL 1100 Hardware Kit provided.
The mounting holes in the Super 1050/RL 1100/CP2000 are the closest to the front of the baseplate and
the holes for the RL 1050 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 of holes in the sprocket; one set for the Super 1050 and one set for the
RL1050/RL1100/CP2000. Indicator must be at 12:00 position.
Figure 3: 1050 fastened to baseplate with large sprocket installed
Make sure the toolhead is in the UP position. Remove the lever and slide the large sprocket onto the 1050
input shaft as seen in the photo. Position the sprocket so the label is upright and indicator hole is at the
top. The center sprocket hole is ECCENTRIC, if the sprocket is mounted upside down the belt will not
tension properly and will loosen during the stroke. Next insert the link bar and rotate the sprocket so
the correct pair of holes lines up with the link bar. The indentation under the hole is for the 1050 RL and
1100 RL and the hole without an indentation is for the Super 1050 press.
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 4-5 ft lb (5.5- 6.5 Nm).
Torque both 1/4 -20 screws 4-5 ft. lbs. (5.5-6.5 Nm).
