Flow Divider
The lift circuit for the front, outer lift cylinders includes a
flow divider. This flow divider provides for even lifting of
cutting units #4 and #5. The lift speed of #4 and #5 cut-
ting units should be similar when the flow divider is func-
tioning correctly. The flow divider assembly mounts to
the front carrier frame (Fig. 93).
The flow divider on early production machines consists
of a three (3) port manifold and a flow divider cartridge.
The flow divider on later production machines includes
a solenoid cartridge valve and two (2) flow regulator car-
tridges (Fig. 94).
If necessary, the cartridges can be carefully removed
from the manifold for cleaning.
