Lyman Digital Powder Scale Instructions Manual

							 11kind of powder was used last. This is extremely 
dangerous.  To begin cleaning the dispenser, lower the 
powder cleaning chute on the rear panel behind the powder 
reservoir.  Be certain that you have a container under the 
chute to catch all the powder from the reservoir and powder 
box.  Lift the powder shut-off door to allow the powder to 
flow out. The cleaning brush can be used to remo ve any 
remaining powder.  When empty, remove the reservoir tube 
and reservoir base by sliding the latch on top of the 
Dispenser to the left.  Then lift the reservoir base up and 
out.  Place the rubber cap on the end of powder tube to 
prevent powder spillage. Powder feed tube can be easily 
removed by inserting J shaped rod in small hole in the 
motor coupling as shown in Figure A. Then unscrew 
powder-dispensing tube by turning in counter clockwise 
direction. Be careful to catch any remaining powder that 
may still be in the tube.  Now with the powder chute 
closed, press in the powder box from the back and release 
it.  The box will pop out slight ly for easy removal and 
cleaning. To reassemble the dispenser, push the powder 
box back in unt il it clicks in, slide the powder tube back 
through the bushings in the powder box and screw it to the 
motor shaft until finger tight.  Place looped end of J shaped 
rod under motor coupling to assist in aligning the powder 
feed tube to the coupling threads. See Figure B.  Snap the 
reservoir base back inside the powder box and lock in with 
the sliding latch.  Reinstall the reservoir tube.

							 12 Suggestions/Tips 
 
1.  If exposed to a sudden change in temperature, allow the 
1200 DPS 30 minutes to stabilize to the new location 
before use. 
2.  The hinged dust cover can be tilted back for ease of use. If 
lowered into place during use, however, it will prevent any 
air drafts from affecting the accuracy of the scale. The dust 
cover can also be slid off the hinges and removed if needed. 
We recommend storing the 1200 DPS with the dust cover 
on and covering the platform as added protection to prevent 
anything from hitting the platform and damaging the load 
cell. 
3.  The 1200 DPS has a drift warning. If anything causes the 
readings to drift over 0.3 grains, the scale will beep. The 
scale should be re-zeroed by pressing the CAL/ZERO 
button.
