Provided is a method of and valve assembly for dumping excess fluid during retraction of a cylinder actuator. The method includes pumping fluid with a pump from a piston side of the cylinder to a rod side of the cylinder; opening a first check valve with relatively high pressure fluid from a downstream side of the pump to allow flow into the rod side of the cylinder; and opening an extend relief valve via a first spool with fluid from the downstream side of the pump to allow excess fluid at an upstream side of the pump to return to a reservoir at relatively low pressure.
