Fluid Power Lab

You are given four hydraulic circuit schematics below.  Print four copies of the “Fluid Power Circuits” pdf and draw how each of these circuits would be connected on the fluid power trainer.  Connection points are shown as circles on each device. 

Note 1: The pressure relief valve and gauge for each circuit is already incorporated into the manifold.  Simply start at the manifold for controlled pressure and tank connections.

Note 2: Read the descriptions of the flow control valve. A lot of students get this backward.

Here is the actual trainer:
