Pilot Oil Accumulator
The following procedure can be used in order to test the pilot oil accumulator. The pilot oil accumulator
maintains pressure in the pilot hydraulic system. The accumulator allows you to lower the boom, and the
work tools with a stopped engine.
When you test or you charge the pilot oil accumulator, the pressure in the pilot hydraulic system must be
released. The temperature of the nitrogen gas must also be taken into account. The pressure and volume
of nitrogen gas varies with temperature.

Location of the pressure tap for pilot pressure on the main control valve
2. Install an 8T-0856 Pressure Gauge 4000 kPa (580 psi) on a 177-7860 Hose Assembly that has
quick disconnect fittings. Install the other end of the hose to the pressure tap for the pilot pressure.
3. Start the engine and run the engine at HIGH idle. The pressure gauge will read 3515 345 kPa (510
50 psi).
4. Stop the engine. Turn the start switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.
5. Move the implement control levers several times through the full range of travel. This will relieve any
pressure that may be present in the implement hydraulic system. Turn the key start switch to the OFF
position.
Note: For more information on releasing the hydraulic system pressure, refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "System Pressure - Release".
6. Watch the pressure gauge. Move the control lever or the joystick in order to lower the boom. The
pressure will steadily decrease.
7. When the pressure is approximately 2000 100 kPa (290 15 psi) the pressure will suddenly drop to
zero. This occurs because no oil is left in the accumulator. The final pressure prior to the sudden drop
to zero is the approximate pressure of the accumulator charge.

Discharging the Accumulator
1. Ensure that the oil in the hydraulic system is at normal operating temperature. Park the machine on a
smooth, level surface.
2. Install the steering frame lock. Block the wheels. Stop the engine.
3. With the engine stopped, turn the key start switch in the ON position. Move the implement control
levers several times through the full range of travel. This will relieve any pressure that may be
present in the implement hydraulic system. Turn the key start switch to the OFF position.
Note: For more information on releasing the hydraulic system pressure, refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "System Pressure - Release".

7. Identify the correct nitrogen charging chuck.
Note: For a nitrogen charging valve with a 0.305 inch -32 THD, use a 1S-8938 Nitrogen Charging
Chuck and a 1U-5551 Extension Assembly. For a nitrogen charging valve with a 0.482 inch -26 THD,
use a 7S-5106 Nitrogen Charging Chuck and a 7S-5439 Extension Assembly .
8. Attach hose assembly (16) to nitrogen charging chuck (15) .
9. Turn valve handle (14) on nitrogen charging chuck (15) all the way in the counterclockwise direction.
This will ensure that the nitrogen charging valve will not be opened when nitrogen charging chuck
(15) is attached to the nitrogen charging valve.
10. Attach nitrogen charging chuck (15) and hose assembly (16) to the nitrogen charging valve.
11. Place the open end of hose assembly (16) away from the work area and away from other personnel.
12. Turn valve handle (14) on nitrogen charging chuck (15) all the way in the clockwise direction in order
to open the nitrogen charging valve. This will release all of the compressed gas from the accumulator
through hose assembly (16). Now, the accumulator can be removed from the machine.
13. Disconnect the hydraulic lines for servicing, as needed.

1. Ensure that valve (7) is closed. Install chuck (13) onto the pilot oil accumulator. Turn valve handle
(12) completely in the clockwise direction.
2. If the reading on pressure gauge (8) is too high, slowly open valve (7) in order to lower the pressure.
If the reading on the pressure gauge is too low, use the following procedure to charge the
accumulator:
a. Connect a hose from the nitrogen cylinder to chuck (11) .
b. Open the valve on the nitrogen cylinder. Adjust screw (10) on regulator assembly (9) until
pressure gauge (3) is at the correct charging pressure.
c. Slowly open valve (7) and charge the accumulator. Charge the accumulator to 2000 100 kPa
(290 15 psi) at a temperature of 21 C (70 F). Then, close valve (7). If pressure gauge (8)
and pressure gauge (3) show the same reading and the readings do not change, the
accumulator has the correct charge.
If the pressure reading on gauge (8) decreases, open valve (7) and allow more nitrogen to fill
the accumulator.
Perform this procedure until pressure gauge (8) and pressure gauge (3) show the same reading.
Make sure that neither reading changes when valve (7) is closed.
3. Close valve (7). Close the valve on the nitrogen cylinder.
4. Turn valve (12) on chuck (13) outward in the counterclockwise direction. Remove the test equipment.
