    Sounds like you may have a problem with your inner or outer seals in your E-47 Power Unit.

    uncle bob, here to help, If the blade drops straight down it's the "a" valve on the back side of the unit take it out and check the o rings...

    If the blade drops and angles check your b valve,which is the one in front(red wire)make sure its clean and moves freely...

    if this doesn't help dissassemble the lift ram and check te piston assembly....
    good luck...
