DOWN 1When the DOWN button is pressed, the pump rotates in clockwise direction 2Fluid pressure opens the DOWN check valve and moves the pump control piston which mechanically opens the UP check valve 3Fluid pressure is directed to the top of the cylinder to move the piston DOWN
4Low pressure fluid leaves the bottom of the cylinder, moves through the open UP check valveand returns to the pump 5To allow for the volume differential caused by the piston rod, excess fluid is vented to the reservoir through the DOWN relief valve CD6When the piston is completely retracted, pump output is vented to the reservoir through the DOWNrelief valve CD to protect the unit from extreme operating pressures
