My Meyers E-47 Plow Will Not Angle

Plow Will Not Angle Left

• Make sure the hydraulic pump motor is getting power and running. Check the wire connections at the molded power connector. Test for voltage at the angling switch. Inspect and clean hydraulic valve "C". If the blade raises instead of angling to the left when the left directional button on the remote control is pressed, inspect and clean hydraulic valve "B".

Plow Will Not Angle Right

• Make sure the hydraulic pump motor is getting power and running. Check the wire connections at the molded power connector. Test for voltage at the angling switch. If the blade will angle to the left, hold a metallic screwdriver up to the solenoid attached to the "C" coil and check for magnetism. If the "C" coil is functional, disassemble the "C" valve and evaluate the O-rings for leakage or wear. No magnetic response at the "C" coil indicates a defective coil, angling switch or defective or loose wiring connections.

Plow Does Not Hold Angle

• Manually push the plow blade back and forth. If it will move as much as 6 to 8 inches and the action feels mushy, bleed the hydraulic system to remove air. Tighten all the hydraulic fittings. If the blade feels mushy and releases from the right angle only but is secure in the left angle, first replace the pilot check ball and seat. If problem persists, replace the O-rings in the "C" valve.

Hydraulic Pressure Leaks Down

• If the plow drops and angles to the left, first replace the "B" check valve. If problems persists, replace the "B" valve. If the plow drops straight down with no angling, evaluate the condition of the O-rings in the "A" valve and replace if necessary. Check for free motion of the "A" valve and replace if necessary.
