What occurs when both crossflow push buttons are selected during manual crossflow operations?

When both crossflow push buttons are selected during manual crossflow operations, power is removed from the crossflow pump. This condition is an essential feature of the hydraulic crossflow system, which is designed to prevent any unintentional operation of the pump that could lead to an unsafe situation or system malfunction.

In manual operations, the push buttons are used to control the flow of hydraulic fluid between different components of the system. Selecting both push buttons simultaneously essentially creates a command to stop the crossflow. This is crucial because it protects the hydraulic system's integrity by ensuring that the fluid is not being pumped in both directions at once, which could cause damage or inefficiency.

Understanding this function is vital for operators, as it emphasizes the importance of control and the need for proper sequencing in hydraulic operations.
