Perfect Powder Measure Leakage

To nearly eliminate leakage, disassemble the measure and clean thoroughly.  Dust with powdered graphite or mica, and re-assemble.  This speeds the process of having a high quantity of powder run through the measure.  Work the lever back and forth to spread the powdered lubricant over the mating surfaces.  Disassemble and observe the wear pattern on the cone shaped mating surface between the metering chamber and body.  There should be even wear across the whole surface.  If not, dust with lube and try again, with the tension screw slightly tighter (or looser, depending on the appearance).  If you can't get an even wear pattern return the measure to the factory for repair/replacement.  Our address is;

To get the proper tension on the screw that holds the rotor assembly to the base, place the lever in the up position and tighten the screw until you cannot move the lever up and down.  With an empty me sure, begin loosening the screw until the lever begins to move downward.  Once this occurs, you have achieved the correct tension.
