Do not make holes in it or weld it or gas cut it. Do not hit it, roll it, or subject it to any impact. When disposing of the accumulator, the gas must be released. Contact your Komatsu distributor to have this work carried out. FUNCTION OF ACCUMULATOR The accumulator (1) stores the pressure in the control circuit.
Page 308
MAINTENANCE SERVICE PROCEDURE CHECKING FUNCTION OF ACCUMULATOR Replace the accumulator every 2 years or every 4000 hours, whichever comes sooner. Check the nitrogen gas charge pressure as follows. 1. Stop the machine on firm, level ground. 2. Operate the parking brake lever to LOCK position (L). 3.
Page 309
If the nitrogen gas charge pressure in the accumulator is low and operations are continued, it will become impossible to release the remaining pressure inside the hydraulic circuit if a failure occurs on the machine. In the following cases, the charge pressure of the accumulator has gone down. Please contact your Komatsu distributor.
