Hi there,
currently trying to engine swap a Genie cherry picker, from 36v DC to diesel engine driven,
problem i am facing is how to power two manifolds with one hydraulic pump, as each manifold had a separate motor and pump before,
I just tried a T piece but i think pressure is just flowing through the opposite manifold as i try moving the boom, id guess just using the path of least resistance?
I did try flowfit, but im not sure he quite got what i was meaning as he advised i use a simple flow diverter valve that evenly splits the flow both ways, but wont it still take the easiest route? or I am being daft?!!
I think this would solve the problem,
but thats dear enough!! would it work if i was to series up the two parallel manifolds by going in one pressure port, out the tank port and into the next manifolds pressure port and then out to the tank?
cheers for any help,
