Operating Instructions – Auto Flo Models 1200, 2200, 3200 and 2500 Pro Mag
The 1200, 2200, 3200 and 2500 Pro Mag are new and very special models in the Lyman
Turbo Tumbler family. The Auto-Flo models allow easy and convenient separation of your
cases from the dry polishing media. After polishing, it takes just a couple of minutes to drain
the media from the specially designed bowl (patented), leaving the cases clean for reloading.
Instructions
Please refer to the general instructions and operating procedures for the Turbo Tumblers
located in the previous section.
NOTE: The procedure for removing/replacing the bowl is the same as described in the gener-
al instructions except for an extra part, the separation chamber (see illustration). It is impor-
tant to reassemble the parts as shown and to tighten the nut holding the bowl and separation
chamber down securely.
Separating Instructions
The Auto-Flo models have a special feature which allows the media to be separated from the
cases quickly and easily. When the polishing cycle is finished, simply position the media
drain pan under the Auto - Flo exit port, remove the plug and turn on the tumbler. Even
though the media will drain out of the bowl very quickly, it will be necessary to reach into the
bowl and “mix up” the cases a few times to allow the media caught inside the cases to empty.
Allowing the empty cases to vibrate in the bowl for a few seconds after the media is drained
will also help to remove the media in the case flash hole. This entire process will only take a
few minutes. When the separation is complete, remove the cases from the bowl, replace the
plug and pour the media back into the tumbler. Your Auto-Flo Turbo Tumbler is now ready
for the next load of cases.
NOTE: It is important to be sure all of the media has been removed from the cases. This is
particularly true of bottleneck cases. Also, be sure to check the flash holes of unprimed cases
and remove any media which may have become lodged in the hole with the Lyman Flash
Hole Cleaning Tool, sold separately.
