 TM 55-1905-219-14-7
3-177. ACCUMULATOR - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
a. The accumulator is a heavy-duty shell assembly and piston designed to-hold nitrogen pressure for an extended
period of time.
b. The accumulator is preloaded with nitrogen through a small valve and sealed at the time of manufacture. A seal
ring, in the groove of the piston between two back-up rings, prevents the nitrogen from entering the hydraulic system.
The nitrogen is stored in the air valve end of the accumulator and the fluid is discharged at the opposite end.
c. A seal ring and back-up ring at each cap prevents escape of fluid and nitrogen from the shell. Nitrogen is an inert
gas. Nitrogen will not rust or corrode the piston or accumulator.
d. Oil enters the accumulator under pressure from either the engine-driven pump, or-hand pump and forces the
piston back, compressing the nitrogen and storing energy to operate the system.
e. Service replacement accumulators are supplied with a precharge of nitrogen [1250 + 50 psi (8619 + 345 kPa)].
This task covers:
a. Inspection
