5. Add 1 ounce of brass cleaning solution. Lyman Turbo Sonic/Rotary Case
Cleaning solution works great in the tumbler.
6. Place the end cap onto the drum and tighten securely. Turn over the drum
so that the end cap is facing down and check for any leaks. If any are
found, tighten the ring further. If leak persists, remove end cap and wipe
off the top edge of the drum and the sealing gasket inside of the end cap.
Dirt or debris on these surfaces can cause leaks.
7. With the tumbler base turned off, place the drum onto the rollers.
8. Turn the timer knob to the desired run time and the machine will begin
to rotate the drum. It will automatically shut-off when the set run time is
reached. Generally, if the drum is full or nearly full, a longer run time will
be required versus a lower quantity. This is because a full drum will have
less tumbling action than one that is not completely filled. We recommend
the bowl be ½ filled for best action. Usually 1 to 2 hours would be required
for a half load and 2 to 3 hours for a full load.
9. When the tumbling cycle is completed and the unit shuts-off, remove the
drum from the base and take it to a sink,
along with the two supplied sifter pans.
Note: DO NOT leave cases soaking in
the cleaning solution after the cleaning
cycle is completed as they can become
discolored.
10. Stack the large screen on top of the fine
screen pan, and place the assembly into
the sink.
11. Remove the end cap from the drum and
pour the contents of the drum into the
stacked sifter pans. The cases will be
caught by the top sifter pan, while the
fine screen pan will catch the media
pins.
12. Refill the drum with water several
times and pour into the sifter pans. This
will help remove and pins still inside of
the drum, while also helping to wash
out pins inside of the cases.
