ANTI CHOP EYES/BALL DETENTS

MAINTENANCE + CHANGING

ANTI CHOP EYES

The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will prevent the EVIL

MINION

™

from chopping paint by not

allowing the marker to fire until a ball is fully seated in front of the bolt. The eyes use a beam

across the breech. On one side there is a transmitter, and on the opposite side a receiver. In

order for the marker to fire with the eyes turned on, the signal between the two eyes must be

broken. After every shot, before the next ball drops in the breech, the eye transmitter and

receiver must see each other. If the eyes are dirty and cannot see each other between shots,

the LED on the board will start blinking green. This means that the eyes are dirty. This is an

extremely reliable system as long as the eyes are kept clean. The most common reason for

dirty eyes is broken paint. If the eyes become dirty the marker will default to a reduced rate of

fire to prevent chopping. If this happens during game play, you can bypass this by turning the

eyes off. Clean the eyes as soon as possible.

NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES ARE DIRTY

OR NOT FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS CASE, REPLACE THE BATTERY.

CLEANING THE ANTI CHOP EYES

Quite often, just cleaning the breech out with a swab will clean the eyes well enough for them

to read one another. For a thorough cleaning, the best method is to use air. Using an air hose

or canned air (typically used for dusting keyboards) works best.

Blow the eyes clean from inside the breech. If you feel the eyes still need a more detailed

cleaning, remove the eye cover to gain full access to the eyes.

To remove the eye covers, you will need a 1/16” Allen wrench.

Simply insert the Allen wrench into the hole in the eye cover to access the retaining screw (see

figure 3). As you back out the screw, the plate will be pushed up.

NOTE: Regular eye cleaning is recommended even if no paint is broken. Clean the eyes every

two months or 10,000 shots to eliminate any built up dirt. Excess grease from the front bolt O-

ring can build up in front of the eyes. Remember to check for this after greasing the bolt and

cycling the marker a few times.

CHANGING BALL DETENTS

The ball detents are also located under the eye cover. If you are experiencing double feeding

or chopping, check the condition of the ball detents. They should come to a soft point. If they

are flat or heavily rounded, they should be replaced. Ball detents should be replaced about

every 40,000 shots.

NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE COVERS. OVER-TIGHTENING THE

RETAINING SCREWS COULD RESULT IN STRIPPING THE THREADS.
