General Information
Your primer filler is shipped ready to fill either large or small primers. If you are going to load small primers or stan­dard large, then your machine is ready to load, right out of the box. NOTE: Remington primers require the use of the ‘B’ stabilizer plate (#17295).
Large mag-
num rifle
primers require an adjustment.
(see section
Large Magnum Rifle on
page 5)
The primer filler machines come color coded: red components for large primers, blue components for small primers.
Fig #1 Insert the “clip end” of the col­ored filler tube into the base, then press
down.
F
ig #2 The top of the colored tube will
locate in the colored plastic adapter.
Operation: Plug your primer filler into a 110 volt AC power supply/generator. The power is turned on by the red rocker switch on the cord.
Fig #3 Now that the power has been turned on, each time the blue button is depressed the machine will run for two minutes and then shut off. If there are still primers remaining in the bowl after the two minutes have elapsed, all you need to do is press the blue button again.
Loading Primers

2. While pressing down on the plastic tray with your index finger, slide the card­board jacket off. Fig #5
3. Lift up the plastic tray. Fig #6
4. Press the blue button.
Now that your first tube is filled, go ahead and fill the primer magazine on your reloading machine, and replace the filler tube. Repeat steps 1-4.
Begin reloading. While you are load­ing y
our ammo, the primer filler is filling
the next tube.
Changing Primer Sizes
Changing Adapters
Using a 7/16” wrench, remove the four bolts (#17894) that hold the clear protective cover. Set the cover aside.
Next, using a 1/8” Allen wrench, remove the adapter screw (#13964) and then the colored, plastic adapter (#17285 large, #17286 small).

Adjusting the Stabilizer Plate
Small to Large
If you are changing from small to large pistol you will need to loosen the stabilizer plate screw. Fig #9 Place one upside-down primer on the ramp in front of the stabilizer plate using an Allen wrench. Place the primer under the stabi­lizer plate – the primer should fall off of the ramp and fall to the bottom of the bowl. If the primer only falls partially out, you need to increase the distance between the stabilizer plate and the edge of the bowl. Now, retighten the stabilizer plate.
Large to Small
If you are changing from large pistol to small, you will need to loosen the sta­bilizer plate screw. Fig #9 Place one upside-down primer on the ramp in front of the stabilizer plate using an Allen wrench. Place the primer under the stabi­lizer plate – the primer should fall off of the ramp and fall to the bottom of the bowl. If the primer only falls partially out, you need to increase the distance between the stabilizer plate and the edge of the bowl. Now, retighten the stabilizer plate screw
.
Large Magnum Rifle
NOTE: Large magnum rifle primers
are .010” taller than other primers. If you are setting up to load with large rifle mag
-
num primers, y
ou will need to locate the “B” stabilizer plate (#17295). Using a 1/8” Allen wrench, remove the stabilizer plate screw
,
F
ig #9
, and the “
A
” stabilizer
plate (#17294).
Install the “B” stabilizer plate. Place one upside-down primer on the ramp in front of the stabilizer plate using an Allen wrench. Place the primer under the stabi­lizer plate – the primer should fall off of the ramp and fall to the bottom of the bowl. If the primer only falls partially out, you need to increase the distance between the stabilizer plate and the edge of the bowl. Tighten the stabilizer plate screw.
Replace the clear protective cover.
Maintenance
Warning: Keep your filler bowl clear
of primer residue. Clean with alcohol any time you see color (yellow, red, green, etc.). This is residue of the explosive mix used in the primers. If allowed to accu­mulate, this residue might cause an explosion. Your Dillon auto primer filler is well armored to protect the user against injury, but it would be foolish to test its capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Always make sure that you are using the correct adapter, stabilizer plate and filler tube.
Problem: The primers fall through the tube and spill onto the bench.
Check to
see that the hitch pin clip is installed.
Problem: I press the blue button and nothing happens.
Make sure that the machine is plugged into a 110 volt AC power supply, and also that you have switched the rocker switch (on the cord) to the “on” position.
Problem: Primers are flipping over and/or jamming going into the colored adapter
.
See the chart on page 6 to verify that the correct parts are being used for the primer size being loaded.

Troubleshooting continued…
Problem: The machine ‘picks-up’ speed
during operation, or vibrates so violently that primers are thrown out of the bowl.
Readjust as follows: tighten the screw that holds the feed adapter (
Fig #7) until it contacts the plastic feed adapter, then back it off .040”, about the thickness of a dime. If it continues to flip primers, back this screw out in 1/4-turn increments,
testing after each adjustment.
T
he feed adapter is designed to float. When allowed to move, the adapter absorbs some of the vibration. When the screw is too tight, all vibration transfers to the bowl causing it to become violent and throw primers out of the bowl.
