Custom 98 PS ACT maintanance

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I bought a custom 98 ps act last month and got to use it yesterday.  A couple of things happened.  One of them is I got to try out the ACT system.  A couple of balls got stuck (I use a cyclone feeding system too) half way and the ACT activated.   The problem was, I really didn't know how to get the balls unstuck, so I basically pushed them and ended up bursting them.  Now the cyclone and the front part of the bolt are completely smothered in paint.  I tried opening the gun to clean the bolt, had no problem separating the rear receiver, but the front receiver parts seem to be glued!!!!!  My four questions are:

- What do I do in a situation were two balls are stuck and the ACT activates?
- How the heck do I separate the front receiver?!?!?!?!?!?!
- Is it safe to use water to clean the cyclone? 
- Does the speed of the marker affect the frequency of balls being chopped?

Thx in advance

	Finally managed to separate the front receiver parts, had to use a screwdriver to force it a bit, but all's well that ends well. Would still like answers to my other questions :P

	Welcome to the forum. First you should make sure your A.C.T. is working properly. Sometimes they can get stuck or someone may have put the marker back together incorrectly. The whole point of Anti-Chop Technology (A.C.T.) is that the marker doesn't jam when it pinches a ball. First Remove your air source & paintballs Remove the feed elbow Manually cock & un-cock the marker & make sure the front bolt moves freely with the rear bolt Second Cock the marker (still without an air source) Block the front bolt with a pencil (you are basically going to hold the front bolt back in place) Pull the trigger The front bolt should have only pushed gently against the pencil Pull the pencil out & the front bolt should snap forward into position If all that happens then your A.C.T. is working. If not, disassemble & inspect the internals of your marker. Here's a video link on how to do that. http://youtu.be/97170WoXyQs If you need more help to figure this all out give our service department a call at 800 533 4831. As for the cleaning the Cyclone Feed, it's ok to rinse them out with water. You should shake all the water out & dry it off really well. The nice thing about A.C.T. & the Cyclone Feed being used together is you should almost never break paint no matter the rate of fire. In Fact there's players out there with Cyclone Feeds pumping out paint well above 15BPS. Let us know if this helps.
