    • Do not hit or roll it, or subject it to any impact. • When disposing of it, the gas must be released. Ask your Komatsu distributor to have this work per- formed. NOTICE If the nitrogen gas charge pressure in the accumulator is low and operations are continued, it becomes impossible to release the remaining pressure inside the hydraulic circuit if a failure occurs on the ma- chine.
  • Page 416 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MAINTENANCE Hold the work equipment in the maximum reach posture (arm fully OUT, bucket fully DUMP) at height (A) 1.5 m from the ground. Perform the following procedure within 15 seconds. After the engine stops, the accumulator pressure decreases gradually. You can check only just after the en- gine stops.
  • Page 417 If the work equipment does not go down or stops in midway, the charged pressure of the gas in the accumulator for the hy- draulic circuit has probably dropped. Ask your Komatsu distrib- utor for inspection. This completes the inspection. After completion of the inspection, set the lock lever to LOCK position and turn the starting switch to OFF position.
