So, this is how it is: Our kicker is operated by using two solenoid switches. The first solenoid operates a pneumatic arm which pulls the kick into position. The kicker is then held into position with a latch system. The first pneumatic arm has no pressure on it after it is armed into the latch. Pressure from a series of rubber bands tries to pull the kicker in a downward position. The second solenoid switch is used to operate the second pneumatic arm. This second arm unloads the latch, allowing the kicker to move forward.

I am viewing this as two separate systems. One system is programmed to pull the kicker into position. The second system is used to release the latch.

We have already written the program for the kicker, but it doesn’t seem to be working. We are trying to wire it using two spike relays, but this doesn’t seem to be working. We are thinking about rewiring this to the newer bumper system.

Any help would be much appreciated.
