Problem With Pilot Controls:
I know nothing... lol
Oops, what I meant to say was; and it is hard to tell from the picture, but on some systems, they incorporate a valve to release the pressure manually, ie... engine failure, or something that causes the pilots to not function.
My Cat 312 BL has this feature, it's called the "manual boom let down valve", or pretty close to that any way.
I've never used it, but it's to let the boom down safely with no power.
You actually have to climb up on the boom just a little ways to access it, and manually turn something with a wrench I think.
I was going to expound on how it works, but that would be rather absurd without looking in the manual, because I'm not sure.
Probably doesn't even apply to your situation any way bremery.
On second thought, stick with the first line at the top... lol

PS, that schematic is starting to look like this, and my eyes are going...lol
