To open valve
When the motor and solenoid valve are activated the oil is sucked from tank through the suction fil-
ter to the pump and pumped through the solenoid valve and the pilot operated check valve (13) to 
the actuator port B. This causes the actuator to open the valve. The oil from actuator port A flows 
back through the pilot operated check valve (5) (which is opened by the pressure in the B-line) and 
returns through the solenoid valve to the tank. 
When the valve is fully open, the pressure rises to 150 bar, which causes the pump safety valve to 
open so that the oil flows back to tank. The motor and the solenoid valve are then de-energized.
The actuator is now hydraulically locked in position by the pilot operated check valves.
Safety/Actuator relief valve
In case of a major rise in temperature, the pressure may rise. This will not cause any problems 
because of the actuator relief valve (6) and (11), which will open at approx. 225 bar.
