I can appreciate trying to thoroughly going through the machine, however, I think that maintenance would generally mean cleaning and lubricating. The adjustments that need to be done after that,
if need be. I agree, that generally a timing adjustment is
very rarely needed. Since you haven't even tried to sew with this machine, it is quite possible, that it may not even require that adjustment. I would try the first several stitches, after cleaning and oiling, by turning the hand wheel rather than with the motor.
The manual has the instructions for oiling. I found this page to be helpful as the oiling points and it even has the tension assembly removal and assembly diagram.

Another link that I browsed through that has some info as to when you know the timing needs to be adjusted -

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
