I reconnected the hydraulic hoses - and it still doesn't work! :mad: After the air test I felt pretty confident that it should work, but once I had connected everything, refilled some hydraulic oil the result is that energizing the solenoid does absolutely nothing. Any suggestions on what my...
I tried blowing air through the diverter and it seems like the middle ports are indeed the intake ports and energizing the solenoid diverts the flow as it should. I just need a few 90 degree elbows so I can connect everything to the correct outlets and my grapple should be operational.
