thanks for the input. my system is now hooked up and seems to work fine. gear goes up and down. I did discover that the selector valve on the pump has 3 positions... up, neutral and down. thought originally was only up and down. luckily there was room where it mounted for the selector handle to move down without hitting anything.  I will keep your comment in mind should any problems arise. I also put pressure switches in line that operate gear up and down lites on the panel. hopefully with direct visual via mirrors of the gear, and confirmed pressure in the system, it will suffice for gear position indicators.

Hi Mark looking at your photo of Nov. 13,2019, the pressure relief valve shows your pressure line connected to port #2. My drawing showed same, but the pressure wouldn't relief. After checking with Nick, it turns out I have "Direct Acting Relief"valve.
Pressure line port #1,and tank port #2. Hope this help if have a problem. Fly Safe
