119 - Bypass and multiple bypass procedure for pivots out of alignment

To get hydraulic valves out of bypass on towers to resume oil pressure in system

Restart pivot and note oil pressure, if under 1350psi then a tower or towers will be in bypass

If pressure under 1350psi , turn off pivot and drive the line to identify tower/towers in bypass

Don harness

Loosen off alignment cable on side that valve is pulled to, do opposite on other-side . Valve should be out of bypass. Take note of how many turn you applied to each side.

Apply same action to any other towers in bypass - essential to take notes of turns

Restart pivot and return to each tower and do the opposite (number of turns on each side of valve) to what you did to release valve
