Construction
Step 1:
Repeat tutorial I through step 3.
Step 2:
Add a second pneumatic valve to the block. Use another axle joiner, notched axle 2, and a cross block to extend the lever of the second valve.
Step 3:
Use two 5×0.5 beams to connect the two levers to the pneumatic cylinder. A long pin can be used for both valves, however it is recommended a long pin with a stop bush is used for the valve that is not directly linked to the cylinder.
