Suggested exercises and observations

1. Observe how the check valve only allows flow in one direction.

2. Raise the cylinder to its mid-position and then lower the supply pressure to see how the check holds the cylinder in position.

3. Change the load on the cylinder and observe how the line pressure, and the pressure on top of the check valve poppet, change.
