5. Warnings for Handling Accumulator
(190-00703, 190-00099)
Accumulator
Wheel loader pilot control system is equipped with an
accumulator. Accumulator will store a pressure charge that may
enable hydraulic controls to be activated for a brief period of
time after engine has been shut down. Activation of any controls
may enable selected function to operate under force of gravity.
When shutting machine down, lower front attachment to ground.
After engine has been shut down, turn key to "ON" position and
move joystick controls to release pressure in accumulator.
Remove key.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Keep away from flame.
• Do not weld on, or drill into the accumulator.

CAUTION
Any raised attachment will lower to ground if accumulator
holds a charge.

release any pilot lines until pressure within accumulator
has been released.
