Springs (15) hold up metering stems (16) and (17) . This allows work ports (18) and (20) to vent to the oil tank. There are orifices in work ports (18) and (20) in order to provide stability in the valve group. When the pilot valve is in RAISE position (C) , pivot plate (3) causes plunger assembly (6) to move down. Plunger assembly (6) will force down plunger (12) , collapsing metering spring (13) and spring (15) . This will allow metering stem (16) to shift. Also, this will allow oil from pressure oil port (19) to flow out of work port (20) .When the pilot valve is in LOWER position (A) , pivot plate (3) causes plunger assembly (5) to move down. Plunger assembly (5) will force down plunger (7) , collapsing metering spring (13) and spring (15) . This will allow metering stem (17) to shift. Also, this will allow oil from pressure oil port (19) to flow out of work port (18) .
