Pictures Of How To Maintain.

NOTE: all this info was taken from eltwitcho's sticky of how to maintain your intimidator. all the props goto him.. i jsut made the pics to make it easier to understand. :)


Tools needed

Before you can maintain your marker, you will need to collect the following

-Imperial Allen Key Set
-White Lithium Grease ( tube or can)
-3/8 socket wrench
-Rag (not paper towel, it will fall apart and get fibers in your gun, and possibly your solenoid)
-Squeegee, must have a cloth attachment

Clean off Paint

This is pretty self explanatory. Wipe the gun down and get rid of any paint dirt or shell on the gun

The Bolt

Pull the pin on top of your bolt. This will disconect the bolt from your hammer and you can now slide it out the rear of your gun. Wipe off all the old grease and dirt that is on the bolt. get the bolt nice and clean. Inspect your o-rings for knicks and scratches. If there is damage to any of your o-rings, replace them promptly

Apply some white lithium grease to your fingertip and spread it all over the bolt. The center area that is thin and does not contact the marker body does not need to be lubricated. Apply enough grease so that you have just enough that you can see the grease on the bolt, but not so much that the bolt is coated in an overly thick layer (this will 'cause your bolt to gum up and give you screwy velocity readings).

Before reinserting the bolt, take a squeegee and run it through the body of the marker. This should wipe up some of the old grease that now ahs dirt in it (and will wear down your markers internals). Do not reinsert the bolt yet, there is still another step before it is ready

------------------------------------------

The hammer

Using only your hands, remove the cap at the rear of your markers body. You will need only remove the thin part that unscrews from the markers body. To remove, just grip (put a cloth over it if necessary for more grip) it with your hands and turn counterclockwise. It is a bit tough to remove the first time, but should come out very easy afterwards. Turning the cap no longer causes it to back out your gun, just grab it and pull it out.

Now tilt your gun so that the back (where you just removed the cap) is facing downwards. your hammer will pop right out. If it does not, push it out from the top of the marker (the slot where the bolt pin goes through) with something, a pencil will work. Wipe down the hammer with the rag and inspect the o-rings. These o-rings are integral to the markers function and it is very important that these o-rings are in good shape. If you see any nicks or cuts remove the o-ring and replace. These o-rings will wear down periodically, so make sure you check them well. Relube the hammer in a manner similar to how you lubed the bolt. Being sure to apply a good coat over the o-rings especially. Reinsert the hammer (the thin end goes in first) being careful to observe that it goes in properly. You have to get the thin end to go into a smaller diameter tube in the front of the rams housing, so if the hammer does not slide all the way into the gun, it is not in this tube properly. Just trial and error should work to get it in correctly. Get the cap that seals off the hammer housing tube, and be sure to apply a generous amount of white lithium grease to the o-ring in front of the threads. This will help the marker seal properly and your cap will not come loose as easily. Turn the cap clockwise tightening as tight as possible but only using your hands, do not use a wrench.

Bolt reinsertion

This takes some practice but after time it will be like second nature. Reinsert the bolt into the gun mking sure to align the pin with the slot in the hammer. It is tough to see, but you should be able to feel when you've done it properly. If you'd like to be sure, there is an easy way to check. Look down your feed tube from above and move the bolt all the way back, it should come far enough abck so that you can just barely see the end of the bolt. Your bolt all the way forwards, the forward o-ring should just pass out of view before the bolt stops moving. If your bolt cannot complete this range of motion, the hammer/bolt pin are not lined up properly. Pushing down on the hammer and wiggling should help a little.

NOTE: just basically do everything in reverse. i hope i helped people learn to make the timmy apart.. :)

next up: how to maintain the regulators.. and if you want more detailed pictures on how to take the timmy apart.

Good stuff. I'm considering making it into an actual webpage at some point, and work some pics into it (like you did, so very nicely :) )
