Congratulations on your purchase of the Intimidator paintball marker. The Intimidator represents the latest in paintball marker technology at a very affordable price. Before operating your Intimidator, please read the entire manual carefully. WARNING This paintball marker is not a toy. Misuse or mishandling can result in serious injury or death. Every person within range of a loaded paintball gun must wear eye protection specifically designed for paintball.
WARNING Make sure marker is not shooting at a dangerous velocity. Ensure all participants are wearing the proper paintball safety equipment. You will be held liable if someone is hurt by a paintball fired from your marker regardless of fault. WARRANTY B.L.A.S.T. warrantees the Intimidator against damages in manufacturing and defects. Electrical components are warranted for a period of 90 days. Wire harnesses located within the grip frame will only be warranted against manufacturing defects.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The marker includes dual regulators. Both regulators are mounted on the front of the Intimidator body assembly, with standard 3/8-in. hex key velocity adjustments. The high-pressure regulator is mounted at the top front of the regulator base and maintains the firing rate of the Intimidator. The low-pressure regulator, which is mounted directly below the regulator base, maintains the cycling rate. All functions are electronically controlled via a circuit board and 4-way air valve.

OPERATION GAS CONFIGURATIONS CO2 When operating the Intimidator on CO2 it is strongly recommended to use a form of the following: q High Flow Expansion Chamber q CO2 specific Regulator q Bottom Line w/tilt q Anti-Siphon Tank q Remote with Harness Mounted Tank Preset HPA/Nitrogen When utilizing a preset HPA/Nitrogen system it is best to use the optional expansion attachment (reference expansion attachment Conversion). Failure to do this will result in the over pressurization of the o-rings.
REGULATORS Low Pressure Regulator The low-pressure regulator (lpr) is mounted at the lower attachment point of the regulator base. Small velocity adjustments are made at the lpr. Velocity adjustment is achieved with a standard 3/8in hex key. Operating pressure for the lpr is between 50 and 100 psi. Operationally speaking, the lower the better, as when the pressure gets too high, the chances of internal air leaks increases, the recoil gets stronger.
OPTIONAL EXPANSION ATTACHMENT Remove O-Ring from here Place O-Ring here Place 011 O-Ring Here ELECTRONICS Battery Information The Intimidator uses a standard 9v battery. To change the battery, remove the Grip. Remove the 4 Allen’s securing the two grip halves. The battery fits into the bottom of the grip frame. Disconnect the old battery and re-connect the new. WARNING At this time it is good to verify bolts are not protruding through the bottom of the grip and into the interior components.
Light Emitting Diode (LED)/Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) When the gun is on, the LED will light with certain codes representing the status of the marker. The codes are as follows: q Solid Orange: The marker is in the boot up process. q Flashing Green: Standard operation q Solid Green: Marker operational q Flashing Red: Allows normal operation, indicates battery is low. q Solid Red: Marker not operational/marker in menu mode.

DIP Switch Settings DIP Switch settings determine the default settings used by the marker upon power up. These switches allow the user to customize the markers default settings. To access the DIP switches, remove the right side grip. DIP switches are located at the base of the Circuit Board. Reference Figure 2 for appropriate settings. Based on Version 1.4.
DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY When disassembling the Intimidator always ensure the marker is de-gassed. The disassembly portion of this manual will be divided into three sections. q Trigger disassembly q Regulator disassembly q Body disassembly When assembling the marker perform the respective assembly on reverse order as disassembly. Trigger Disassembly 1. Remove Trigger Assembly retaining screws (2 each). Ensure screw with washer is installed in front when assembling. 2.
8. Disconnect Grip membrane on backside of opposite trigger half from 12-point wire harness. 9. Lift up on LCD white ribbon locks located each side of ribbon. 10. Remove ribbon from Circuit Board. 11. Remove Circuit Board retaining screw. 12. Disconnect and remove battery. 13. Disconnect 14-point wire harness from backside of Circuit Board. 14. Remove Circuit Board, and 12-point wire harness from trigger housing half. 15. Remove 12-point harness from circuit board. 16.
24. Remove Trigger shouldered screw and remove Trigger. 25. Remove Trigger Guard screws (2) and remove Trigger Guard. Note: When removing Trigger ensure not to loose Trigger Spring. 26. If required use allen to back out Trigger adjustment screws. If not required leave allen’s adjusted to maintain original adjustment. Note: At this time the Trigger is disassembled. Listed below are key points to remember when assembly occurs. q LCD Install: Ribbon comes pre-folded from the factory.
Regulation Disassembly 1. Remove Regulators 2. Remove Air Barb from base. 3. Remove regulator base retaining screw (1 each) from body. 4. Slide regulator base from body and remove poppet spring. 5. Unscrew allen adjuster. 6. Unscrew end of high-pressure regulator housing. 7. Remove regulator spring washer. 8. Remove regulator spring. 9. Remove piston. 10. Remove Pin Valve Retainer. 11. Remove Pin Valve. 12. Remove Teflon Washer. 13. Unscrew ASA end from adjustment end of low-pressure regulator. 14.
Note: At this time the Regulators are disassembled. Listed below are key points to remember when assembly occurs. q Piston: Ensure cupped small end of piston is facing towards pin valve. q Regulator Spring: Ensure orange spring is in vertical regulator housing and dark gray spring is in Horizontal regulator housing. Failure to do this will cause regulators not to function properly. q Pin Valve: Ensure pin valve is not bent and seats in cupped small end of piston.
Body Disassembly 1. Ensure barrel of marker is removed. 2. Remove Eye Sensor covers (both sides) by removing retaining screw (1 each side). 3. Remove Eye Sensor Harness (both Sides) by carefully pulling sensor heads from mounting holes. Be careful not to loose small o-ring on each head. 4. Lift up on bolt-retaining pin and slide bolt out of rear of marker. 5. Remove rear sleeve cap screw. 6. Turn marker up and allow ram to fallout of marker rear. Hold hand underneath to catch ram.
8. Remove cup seal. Use extreme caution not to scratch or damage cup seal. It is recommended to replace the cup seal every time it is removed. Any small scratch or fragment on the cup seal will induce an air leak. 9. Turn body over to gain access to the bottom of the marker. 10. Remove air barb from middle of sleeve. Do not loose fiber washer at base of air barb. 11. Remove sleeve retaining allen. 12. At this time you are ready to remove the sleeve from the body.
Note: At this time the Body is disassembled. Listed below are key points to remember when assembly occurs. q O-rings: Apply grease to all o-rings before installing. q Front Sleeve O-ring: Ensure o-ring is in good shape upon install. q Sleeve Installation: Use caution when installing the sleeve. Be careful not to cut the o-rings on the sharp openings. q Air Barb: Ensure fiber washer is on air barb base prior to installation. This will ensure proper seal.
MAINTENANCE WARNING DO NOT use lightweight oil on marker. Oil will destroy internals of Air Valve, O-rings, and Cup Seal. General Provide all O-rings within the marker a heavy coat of grease. The Poppet and Ram O-rings need to be greased between 2000-3000 rds. fired. Keep foreign obstructions out of marker internals. Regulator Regulator O-rings should be greased every 5000 rds. fired. Failure to do this will reduce recover time of Regulators. Additionally, the piston will wear a grove in Regulator housing.

Problem Cause Gun is pressurized and will not fire. Repair If bolt moves freely, one or more of the airlines are crimped. Remove grip and reposition airline/lines If bolt does not move, Trigger Solenoid is sticking or inoperable. The solenoid flap wedging against the Trigger Spring housing causes this. Remove Grip and reposition Trigger Solenoid. LCD shows nothing or displays unreadable characters. Ribbon has become disconnected or damaged. Re-connect ribbon to docking port on circuit board.
Problem Inconsistent velocity. When gun is turned to ON, bolt moves forward and fires. Cause Repair High-pressure regulator piston dry. Large ram o-ring (rear) is worn. Paint does not fit barrel. Low Battery. Retaining screw for circuit board is shorting out board. Written By: Bob Crews Instructional System Design Specialist 808 Plateau Way Modesto, CA. 95358 Lube piston. Replace o-ring. Use appropriate size of paintball. Remove and replace Battery.
