Information:
Testing and Charging the Pilot System Accumulators
Stop the engine. Release the pressure from the pilot hydraulic system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release".Gas pressure is variable with temperature. Check the temperature of the air around the accumulator. In order to check the amount of charge in an accumulator, the accumulator must be at the same temperature as the surrounding air.Note: The temperature of the accumulator may change as the accumulator is being charged due to the expansion or compression of the nitrogen charge. It may be necessary to charge the accumulator in several steps in order to ensure a correct charge.
