I have added a 2nd prince valve to my wood splitter to run a log lift. Both are same valve.
They are connected pump>1in>1out>2in>2out>tank.
The puzzling thing is when I first nudge the #2 valve, the lift seem to power(not coast) down slightly. I give the handle a bit more movement and it responds as expected going up. Valve 1(splitter) is in neutral.
Both valves are connected to DA cylinders.
I’m not sure why that bit of drop occurs when #2 is cracked to go UP.
At first I thought maybe air in cylinder 2 from the install but after exercising it through a couple of bucket loads of wood, it still does it.
Ideas?
