Pilot Oil Accumulator - Test and Charge

SMCS - 5077-045-PS ; 5077-081-PS

Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the
engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is
not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.

Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, oil is cool before
removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when
the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with
your bare hand.

Dry nitrogen is the only gas approved for use in the accumulators. The
charging of oxygen gas in an accumulator will cause an explosion. An
explosion can be eliminated by using nitrogen gas cylinders with
standard CGA (Compressed Gas Association, Inc.) No. 580 connectors.
When nitrogen gas is ordered, make sure to order the cylinders with
CGA No. 580 connectors.

Do not rely on color codes or other methods of identification to tell the

difference between nitrogen and oxygen cylinders. In any application,
never use an adapter to connect your nitrogen charging group to a valve
outlet used on both nitrogen, oxygen, or other gas cylinders. BE SURE
YOU USE DRY NITROGEN (99.8% purity).
