1. Checking the gas pre-charge pressure
Once filled with gas, the hydraulic accumulator is largely maintenance-free, how-
ever in order to ensure a trouble-free service, maintenance works must be carried
out according to the manufacturer’s detailed operating instructions of the Cylinder
Lubricating System. Checks and maintenance are only to be carried out, when
the engine is at standstill.
Furthermore see also 5610−1 and Operating Manual 7218−1.
Check the filling pressure at least once in the first week after startup of the accumu-
lator. If no loss of gas is observed, recheck after three months. If there is still no
change in pressure, an annual check might be sufficient, however, it is recom-
mended to continue carrying out checks every three months.
Attention! Ensure that servo oil supply is shut off before starting accumulator
pressure checking and charging. Also no residual oil pressure in the servo oil sup-
ply line must be visible on pressure gauge PI2041L of pressure reducing valve
8.11−1.
1.1 Preparation
− Stop servo oil supply.
− Close valve 14 on pressure reducing valve 8.11−1 in the rail unit (Fig. ’D’).
− Drain servo oil system by means of screw plug 13.
Screw plug 13 must remain open during entire checking / refilling proce-
dure.
− Remove protection cap 2 from accumulator 1.
1.2 Checking procedure
⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
⇒ Connect accumulator 1 to control unit 5 using short hose 4.
⇒ Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
Required gas pressure: min. 30 bar / max. 35 bar.
If gas pre-charge pressure is ok:
⇒ Close valve A and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening valve B.
⇒ Disconnect short hose from accumulator.
⇒ Refit protection cap.
Remark: During every check a small amount of gas may be lost to the atmo-
sphere. Therefore, make sure a gas bottle is available before a pressure check is
made in order to refill possible loss.
If gas pre-charge pressure is not
ok:
⇒ Refill the accumulator.
