Discharging the Accumulator
Ensure that the oil in the hydraulic system is at normal operating temperature. Park the machine on a smooth, level surface.
Install the steering frame lock. Block the wheels. Stop the engine.
Install the steering frame lock. Block the wheels. Stop the engine.
Turn the engine start switch to the ON position. Move the joystick, the third function lever, and the fourth function control through the full range of travel.Note: Moving the joystick and moving the levers will release the pressure in the pilot hydraulic system.

Identify the correct nitrogen charging chuck.Note: For a nitrogen charging valve with a .305 inch -32 THD, use a 1S-8938 Nitrogen Charging Chuck and a 1U-5551 Extension Assembly. For a nitrogen charging valve with a .482 inch -26 THD, use a 7S-5106 Nitrogen Charging Chuck and a 7S-5439 Extension Assembly .
Attach hose assembly (16) to nitrogen charging chuck (15) .
Turn valve handle (14) on nitrogen charging chuck (15) all the way in the counterclockwise direction. This will ensure that nitrogen charging valve (2) will not be opened when nitrogen charging chuck (15) is attached to the nitrogen charging valve.
Attach nitrogen charging chuck (15) and hose assembly (16) to nitrogen charging valve (2) .
Attach nitrogen charging chuck (15) and hose assembly (16) to nitrogen charging valve (2) .
Place the open end of hose assembly (16) away from the work area and away from other personnel.
Turn valve handle (14) on nitrogen charging chuck (15) all the way in the clockwise direction in order to open nitrogen charging valve (2). This will release all of the compressed gas from the accumulator through hose assembly (16). Now, the accumulator can be removed from the machine.
Disconnect the hydraulic lines for servicing, as needed.Nitrogen Charging Procedure
