OPERATION GAS CONFIGURATIONS CO2 When operating the Intimidator on CO2 it is strongly recommended to use a form of the following: • High Flow Expansion Chamber • CO2 specific Regulator • Bottom Line w/tilt • Anti-Siphon Tank • Remote with Harness Mounted Tank Preset HPA/Nitrogen When utilizing a preset HPA/Nitrogen system it is best to use an external regulator. This reduces the possibility of over pressurizing the o-rings. Factory recommends 500 psi as output pressure.
AMMUNITION ASPECTS Hopper The Intimidator requires a high flow of paintballs to make full use of its features. To satisfy this the use of the motorized loaders are recommended. Paint Using top grade paint ensures the utmost in performance and accuracy. 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.
Low Pressure Conversion To convert the high pressure regulator to low pressure follow the steps below: 1. De-gas marker. 2. Decrease velocity adjustment to relieve spring pressure. 3. Unscrew the high-pressure regulator housing. 4. Remove piston. 5. Remove orange spring. 6. Remove spring washer. 7. Remove velocity adjuster completely. 8. Turn piston around so that large end is facing towards pin valve. 9. Install piston, pushing it all the way until it stops. 10. Remove pin valve assembly. 11.
ELECTRONICS Battery Information The intimidator uses a standard 9v battery. To change the battery remove the 4 allen screws on the right side grip. The battery fits into the bottom (drop-forward) of the grip frame. Disconnect the old battery and re-connect the new. Anti Chop Eye The Anti-Chop Eye is a pair of photo sensors in the bottom of the breach determining when the paint ball is seated and ready fire.
q Test: Bypasses the Ball Sensor to allow for test firing. The left button scrolls through the eight available menus. Below are the definitions for the remaining menus: q RATE: Determines how fast the marker cycles in balls per second (bps). q EYE: Determines how long the marker delays (in milli-seconds) after seeing a ball before firing. q DWELL: Determines how long the bolt stays forward before repeating cycle. q TIME: Determines game timer setting. Selectable in hour increments.
The MODE menu will be the most popular menu option used. For this reason the factory has defaulted it as the first selectable menu when the membrane buttons are activated. These procedures will provide familiarization on navigation through the remaining menus. Procedures to change the firing rate of the Intimidator are as follows: Changing the Firing Mode 1. Place the ON/OFF switch to ON. 2. Observe in the Display Window Bob Long’s INTIMIDATOR Display Window INTIMIDATOR LCD Ver 1.4.3 Turbo 14.
11. Press the right membrane button to save the change. 12. Observe in the display window. 3-Burst 0000 14.0/sec 45:00 Note: 3-Burst was used in this example. Whatever you as the user select, will appear in the same position on the display window. 13. Ensure LED located left of the ON/OFF switch blinking green. Right Button Note By pressing and holding the right membrane button for approx. 2 seconds before release, will default the firing mode to Full-Auto regardless of previous mode selected.
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. 2. 3. 4. Remove both side grips. Disconnect battery. Disconnect Grip membrane from wire harness. Lift up on LCD white ribbon locks located on Circuit Board. 5.
19. Turn trigger frame over and remove LCD screen retaining screws (4 each). Leave screws in LCD holes. 20. Remove LCD screen from trigger frame top. Use caution when removing not to loose screws. 21. Remove trigger spring housing retaining screw (1 each). Use caution as housing and spring will fall after screw has been removed. 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.
q Air line attachment: Ensure airlines are seated on air barb bases. This will prevent the possibility of air leaks. q Do not pinch airlines when routing through trigger frame top. q Eye Sensor connection: After connecting eye sensor harnesses pull remaining wire through trigger frame. This avoids pinching of wires during trigger frame attachment to body.
Regulator Disassembly 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Remove regulator base retaining screw (1 each). Remove poppet spring. Unscrew high-pressure regulator housing. Remove piston. Remove regulator spring. Remove regulator spring washer. Remove velocity adjustment allen. To remove low-pressure regulator repeat steps 3 through 7. 9. Remove high-pressure pin valve assembly. 10. Remove low-pressure pin valve assembly. 11. Remove air barb from backside of regulator base.
Body Disassembly 1. Remove barrel from marker. 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. Remove decorative cover. 7. Turn marker up and allow ram to fallout of marker rear. Hold hand underneath to catch ram.
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. q Cup Seal: Ensure cup seal snaps into sleeve seal. Failure to do this will allow the cup seal to jump from seat, causing an extreme air leak. q Poppet installation: Ensure poppet o-ring is well greased.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING Refer to Assembly/Disassembly to perform repairs indicated below. Problem Cause Repair When gas is applied to the gun a load POP is heard and air is escaping in our around the Trigger Frame. Re-connect airline. Airline or lines have become stretched or Replace stretched/leaking disconnected from Ram airline. Sleeve (usually due to overpressurizing of the Regulators). Gun leaks from inside the Trigger Frame and hoses are fine.
Marker fires with first shot extremely slow. Poppet O-ring is dry. Grease Poppet O-ring. Marker cycles but does not fire. High Pressure Regulator is set to low. Increase pressure in High Pressure Regulator. Dwell is set to low. Set Dwell, green and black wire Air Valve requires a #16 Dwell setting, double black wire Air Valve requires #6 Dwell setting. Regulator Pin Valve has debris lodged between valve and seal. Remove debris from Regulator Pin Valve. Pin portion is bent causing unreliable seal.
When gun is turned to ON, bolt moves forward and fires. Low Battery Remove and replace battery Retaining screw for circuit board is shorting out board. Remove retaining screw and install rubber o-ring (poppet o-ring works fine). Re-install circuit board ensuring screw does not touch board.
