3-102. 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 which is 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 stores energy to operate the system.
e. Service replacement accumulators are supplied with a precharge of nitrogen (1250 50 psi (8691 345
kpa)).
