Electric hose rupture valves serve as locks for the platform. The lock opens automatically if the down function is actuated from the control device. The valves are non-return valves that let fluid in from the cylinders but not out be- fore they are actuated by the flow from the lowering valve. The platform is thus hydraulically locked during transport. www.zepro.com...
