Flow Divider
The flow divider valve maintains equal height of the SDD as the drill is raised and lowered. If an
unequal balance between the LH and RH side of the drill occurs, or if there is an uneven level
between cylinders on one side of the drill, the system can be equalized by raising the main lift all
the way up and maintaining continuous flow to the system for a period of time. This will allow
the flow divider valve to synchronize the LH and RH side of the drill as well as allowing the
phasing cylinders to flush and level out. This procedure can only be performed when raising the
drill, not lowering.
If air is introduced into the main-lift circuit either from a hydraulic leak or from maintenance, the
system must be purged. This can be accomplished by raising and lowering the main lift circuit
many times while intermittently holding the pressure in the raise position.
