section at a given length, oil is trapped in the cylinder by the
holding valve. Refer to Hydraulic Remote Control Valve,
page 2-34 for a complete description of the holding valve.
Theory of Operation
Flow from the pump travels to the telescope directional
control valve. Movement of the control lever for telescope
functions from neutral sends a pilot pressure signal to the
directional control valve to shift the spool in the directional
control valve. This aligns the appropriate passages in the
control valve to route oil to the telescope cylinders.
Also refer to Theory of Operation, page 4-1 in this Section.
