Page 24 PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Blade will not lift Hydraulic fluid level low Fill hydraulic fluid up to the fill line on the reservoir using Sno-Way hydraulic (motor Runs) fluid. Improper main system Using a 3000 psi gauge plumbed into the gauge port (GP), run plow over pressure relief valve relief.
Page 25 Test the control receiver to see if there is a ground signal sent to the lower coil (B) without activation coil (B) without activation. This can be done using a Sno-Way control test (99101028). If you do not have a test box remove the two wires off of the (B) coil and check to see if the blue with the white trace wire has a ground signal coming from it.

If the problem moves to the other not hold setting too low wing, remove and replace relief valve. Cross over relief valve Swap wing cross over relief valves on valve block.
Page 28: Theory Of Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION Hydraulic Power Unit Electro-Hydraulic Controls The hydraulic power unit consists of: All hydraulic functions are controlled by the 12VDC electrical system which actuates coils on the hydraulic 12VDC Motor valves and the solenoid for the electric motor of the power Hydraulic pump rated at 1.54 GPM @ 1500 PSI unit.
Page 29: Lower Mode Of Operation - Gravity Down And Float
Lower Mode of Operation - When the pressure reaches the proper level, the switch opens, shutting off the motor and pump. The system is Gravity Down and Float protected by a relief valve which relieves excess pressure if the plow is forced up, such as by a bump or obstacle in Actuating the ’Lower’...
