Abstract
A technique enables mechanical control of a directional valve. The technique may utilize a system comprising a directional valve which is mechanically actuatable between a plurality of flow positions. The directional valve is mechanically coupled with an indexer mechanism. The indexer mechanism may be shifted to a plurality of desired indexer positions defined by a cam track. As the indexer mechanism is shifted between indexer positions, the mechanical link between the indexer mechanism and the directional valve mechanically shifts the directional valve to selected flow positions of the plurality of flow positions.
