JCB 8018 Aux piping

[Dr pecker]

Evening all

Trying to help a chap with his 8018 high bollix.
Does anyone ere know if a 8018 is on constant 1w or 2w aux circuit and is there a diverter valve fitted or dare i say 'is it an optional extra'?
I think 2w as both pipes flex when either side of pedal is pressed. The couplings however say that is 1w as there is a larger 3/4M return coupling.

Not sure on the 8018s but alot of JCB even the new X series is singe acting as standard

Seems to say double acting as standard

Might depend on the year as I think the 8018 name covers quite a few incarnations of the machine

If it ops both ways then it probably has double acting, but with a larger 3/4 coupling normally on the offside, it has been used for a hammer,

Evening, my old 2012 8018 was double acting from standard, ran the breaker on it and a post hole borer which I could reverse by pressing the pedal on the floor.
