Chuck,
I understand some about hydraulics as I was in the heavy equip
business until I retired a while back, and I do listen to the pump
and when it gets to the end of it's stroke, it is fairly easy to tell.
However my question is could the three valves be used to slow the slideout speed and if they are not fully open will they leak?
It seems so as when I did open them all the way the leak is non existant? And that goes against most valves that are supposed to be opened all the way then turned back in a quarter turn to keep from sticking? Very Interesting. Possibly the same engineering firm as the spare tire mounting group?
