4.4 Securing the fluid section to the air motor section
The piston rod is actually inside the air motor assembly- which has been removed in the
above illustration so you can see more detail.
Notice how the upper connecting rod is being inserted at an angle. This is to ensure that
the ball on the end correctly engages the keyway slot in the photo on the left.
You will need to “hook” the ball in to the slot by moving the rod at an angle, then press it
towards the center of the notch.
Note: the lower section will need to have the piston rod extended and the air motor
will need to be in the down position in order for you to have enough length to hook
these two components together.
Connect the air motor section to the outlet housing as shown above.
You should now be ready to re-install the pump into your container. Attach the fluid hose
first and tighten before attaching the air line and turning the air supply back on.
