Default Jettronics valve help

Need help with jettronics high flow valve. The manual I got is for the regular valve. When I shut the power off, the gear retract. I know it "locks in the down position when it powers down" Can I reverse this? The programming for the door sequencing was a chore and I don't want to reverse the channel. I know its programmable, just no idea how to do it.

I feel like the obvious answer is reverse the air lines, but that sounds like a terrible feature in the first place.

I had the same problem with the Jet Tronics valve. This reversing of the lines was the answer and the simplest solution to the problem.

sorry but +1. I had heard that Jet Tronic had come up with a fix for this but it seems the problem persists. Might be worth getting in touch with Jet Tronic direct to see if they have the fix.

The valve is spring loaded to the gear "down " position. when power is removed. If your gear are retracting with power off, you need to reverse the lines. That's how it's designed, I don't know why.
