The 12” air motor is a general purpose power unit and
is used with many 2-ball and chop check pumps. It utilizes tie rod type construction for easy breakdown and it
connects to the various lower ends via tie rods for easy
operation. Consult pump model operator’s manual for
specic instructions.

8.
and the (101) base assembly.
Assemble the eight (109) nuts to (121) hex head bolts
9.
and tighten per specied torque sequence and value.
Pull the (120) trip rod assembly as far out of the air mo-
10.
tor assembly as possible, slide the (123) O-ring over the
(120) trip rod assembly and down into the gland found
in the (122) head plate.

pocket on the side of the (144) valve housing towards
the notch in the (122) head plate.
Install the two (145) socket head screws thru the (144)
20.
valve housing and thread into the (122) head plate. The
(144) valve housing may need to be rotated slightly to
align the tapped holes. Tighten the (145) socket head
screws per specied torque value.
Install the (146) pilot insert thru the (144) valve housing
21.
and into the (134) spool. The (134) spool may need to
be turned to orient its’ shallower slot to face the smaller
pocket of the (144) valve housing.
Install the (147) pilot valve plate into the (144) valve
22.
housing covering the (146) pilot insert.
Install the (148) pilot gasket into the (150) pilot cover
23.
