    • 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 407 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE • When the control lever is operated in the direction to lower the work equipment, the work equipment goes down under its own weight. • Release the pressure from the hydraulic circuit. The accumulator is installed to the position shown in the figure. METHOD FOR CHECKING ACCUMULATOR FUNCTION CAUTION When performing the inspection, check first that there is no person or obstacle in the surrounding area.
  • Page 408 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.
  • Page 409 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE If an attachment is installed, set the lock pin of the attach- ment control pedal to position (c) where you can operate the pedal.
