Convertible top compartment cover cylinder

The convertible top compartment cover cylinders remain charged with pressure from both sides simultaneously by the energized solenoid valves F1 and F2 and in this way remain run out.

The convertible top compartment cover remains raised.

Main cylinder

Both pressure stages for the main cylinder are charged simultaneously by the energized solenoid valves F2 and F3.

The cylinders remain run out and ensure the convertible top remains in forward position.

Bracket cylinder

The two-way valve S1 is charged with pressure from both sides simultaneously via the energized solenoid valves F2 and F3. In this way, it is interconnected and the hydraulic pressure is directed to the bracket cylinder rebound stage.

The bracket cylinders are retracted and the bracket is raised.

The hydraulic oil escaping from the pressure stage is directed into the hydraulic oil reservoir via W2.
