The pump oil flows into passage (11) and the pressure of the pump oil causes check valve (17) to shift downward against spring (18). The pump oil flows through passage (19) to passage (16). Then, the pump oil flows from passage (16) to port (15) at the rod end of the stick cylinder. The rod of the stick cylinder will retract in order to perform a STICK OUT.When the joystick is returned to the NEUTRAL position, the stick cylinder is held in the OUT position. Check valve (17) and valve (6) prevent the oil in the rod end of the stick cylinder from flowing out of the stick cylinder.STICK IN Operation

The pilot oil at port (13) will cause spool (14) to shift to the left. Spool (14) will force spool (7) to move to the left against spring (5) .The oil in the rod end of the stick cylinder begins to flow to port (15) of the stick lowering control valve. As oil flows into passage (16), check valve (17) will remain closed. As pressure begins to rise in passage (16), spool (6) will begin to move to the left and oil will flow to passage (10). The oil then flows from passage (10) to port (12). From port (12), the oil will flow through a line to the main control valve and back to the hydraulic tank.When the joystick is returned to the NEUTRAL position, the loss of pilot oil pressure will allow spring (5) to force spool (7) and spool (6) to close. Oil in the rod end of the stick cylinder is trapped and the stick cylinder is held in position.Manual Stick Lowering
