D5.4 Extending the cylinders to the
same height
A large synchronisation deviation can
result in a lateral offset. In rare cases,
this could negatively affect the “thread-
ing” of the RCS Rails in the next
climbing shoe. This deviation can be
corrected even if the pistons have not
been completely extended.
1. Decouple the inflow and outflow of
Cylinder 2 (is extended further).
2. Connect the hoses with one another.
Short-circuit connection has now been
created, see D5.2.
3. Extend the remaining Cylinder 1.
(Fig. 60)
4. As soon as the lateral offset has been
corrected, re-couple Cylinder 2.
5. Press hand valve upwards until both
cylinders have been completely
extended.
