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
