I have a new loader control to install on my Yanmar YM240 (YM2000). The old control was in series ahead of the 3-point, as specified in the YM240 Owner's Manual.
This new Prince control says to plumb the 3-point (or any downstream application) from the Power Beyond port on the control, with the Tank (out) fitting on the control separately draining into the transmission sump. It also says maximum back pressure allowed at the control's Tank connection is limited to 500 psi. I have the plug available that would separate the Tank from PB outlets. (Tank then would flow only the fluid returned from the cylinders, not the full continual volume as it does now.)
Do I really need to run separate Tank and PB lines out of this control? Or would plumbing it in series like the old valve work ok? So far as I know there isn't a fitting on the transmission to serve as Tank In. And I really don't want to return it to the dipstick hole as I once saw.
Any advice?
