MAINTENANCE AND CHANGING
ANTI CHOP EYES
The Anti Chop Eye (ACE)
system will prevent the SLG™
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 cover, you will need a
1
⁄16” Allen key.
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.
Do not remove grip frame without removing eye-plates first.
CHANGING BALL DETENTS
The ball detent system is also located under the eye covers. The ball detent system needs little
or no maintenance. There is a spring behind each detent, which holds the detent forward. This
spring pressure should be easily overcome with very little force, such as a paintball moving past.
Ifyouareexperiencingdoublefeedingorchopping,checktheconditionofyourballdetents
with your finger to make sure they are not stuck in the up or down position and that they move
inandoutofthebreechfreely.Ifexcessivebrokenpaintordirthasjammedyourballdetents,
remove the eye plates (being careful not to lose the detent springs) and pull the detents out
for a thorough cleaning. Reinstall the detents, springs and eye covers after you have sufficiently
cleaned the detents and breech.
NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE COVER TO NOT PINCH EYE WIRES.
OVER-TIGHTENING THE RETAINING SCREW COULD RESULT IN STRIPPING THE THREADS.
