Maintenance Accumulators and Accessories General Information The condition of the accumulator is primarily determined by periodic checking of gas pre-charge pressure. Only qualifi ed personnel should perform any maintenance on accumulators. Nitrogen gas pre-charge pressure should be checked at least once during the fi rst week of operation to ensure that no leak has developed. The pre-charge pressure and ambient temperature should be recorded at installation and checking done at the same temperature if possible. If there is no loss of gas pre-charge pressure, it should be rechecked in approximately 4 months. Thereafter, it should be checked annually. Check pre-charge if the system is acting sluggishly. If pre-charge is low, check gas valve for leakage and recharge. Bladder Accumulators 1 Use appropriate valving in the hydraulic system to discharge all hydraulic fl uid from accumulator. 2 To check or adjust pre-charge pressure, HYDRAULIC PRESSURE MUST BE REDUCED TO ZERO. Pre-charge pressure should be checked periodically. 3 Charging and checking should be done with an accumulator charge kit similar to Stauff Part # STA-CK-1. 4 Remove gas valve protection cap and valve cap as per pre-charge procedure instructions (B) on page 14 5 Attach gauge assembly to accumulator gas valve. 6 Make sure bleed valve B (Figure 1.) is closed, depress gas valve core gently by turning valve A (Figure 1.) clockwise. Gas pressure can now be read on gauge. 7 To reduce pressure, open bleed valve B (Figure 1.) carefully, allowing gas to escape until desired pressure is obtained. It the pre-charging pressure is less than required, refer to the pre-charging procedure on page 14 B A Figure 1 D C - Safety pattern gauge. NOTE: Allow accumulator to rest about 10-15 minutes after gas pre-charging. This will allow gas temperature to adjust and equalize. Recheck gas pressure and adjust if necessary. Check accumulator gas valve for any leaks with soapy water. The kit has adaptors to connect the hose to the nitrogen cylinder as well as adaptors to connect the charging/pre-loading/gauge set to the accumulator. - Stauff recommend the use of nitrogen gas only for pre-charging of accumulators. - Always wear protective safety glasses. 15
