The Hornady Lock-N-Load® Sonic Cleaner™ removes carbon residue
from the inside and outside of cartridge cases with high frequency
ultrasonic energy and a specialized cleaning solution. Unlike case
tumblers, the Lock-N-Load
surfaces of cartridge cases as well as the primer pockets. The
Lock-N-Load

®

Sonic Cleaner™ may also be used to clean other small
parts. The Lock-N-Load
steel tank, removable basket, drain trays, de-gas function, adjustable
heating function, a digital timer, a solution usage timer, and suspension
cords for larger items.

The primary function of the Lock-N-Load
chemically and mechanically clean a variety of items. It may or may
not produce “shiny” brass. To create bright and polished brass we
recommend using the Hornady Case Tumbler. Not all carbon buildup
and tarnish may be removed from cases due to the corrosive nature
of some primer residue and/or deep corrosion.

DE-GAS FUNCTION

The Hornady Lock-N-Load

®

Sonic Cleaner™ includes a de-gassing
function to remove excess air bubbles from the solution, improving the
effectiveness of the ultrasonic cleaning action. The de-gassing function
cycles the unit on and off, causing air bubbles to release from the
solution and float to the surface.

To turn on the de-gas function, press the FUNCTION button repeatedly
until the symbol above the De-gas label is illuminated. Then turn the unit
on by pressing the ON/OFF button. After de-gassing for 90 seconds, the
unit will return to regular ultrasonic cleaning until the timer expires.

HEATING FUNCTION

The Hornady Lock-N-Load

®

Sonic Cleaner™ includes a heating function
to further enhance the ultrasonic cleaning action. The heating function
may be used on most gun components, however caution should be used
with any heat sensitive items.

The heating function should not be used on painted parts, as the heat
may soften the paint and cause it to flake off during ultrasonic cleaning.
