Hydraulic Fluid Accumulator: Service and Repair

AHB Accumulator Disposal

WARNING
The accumulator contains nitrogen gas under pressure.
The pressure must be relieved before disposal to prevent explosion and possible injury when scrapping.


WARNING
Always wear eye protection to avoid getting metal shavings in your eyes when the accumulator pressure is relieved.

Firmly clamp the accumulator in a vise, and drill a hole of 2-3 mm (0.078-0.118 in.) diameter in marked area (A) of the body to release the gas.
