Accumulator (Blade Cushion) - Test and Charge

SMCS - 5077-081-BG

Personal injury or death can result from improper

accumulator charging.

Dry nitrogen is the only gas approved for use in the

accumulator. Charging the accumulator with oxygen
gas will cause an explosion. This danger will not
happen if nitrogen cylinders with standard CGA
Compressed Gas Association, Inc.Number 580
connections are used.

When ordering nitrogen gas, be sure that the

cylinders are equipped with CGA Number 580
Connections. Do not use color codes or other methods
of identification to tell the difference between
nitrogen and oxygen cylinders.

Never use an adapter to connect your nitrogen

charging group to a valve outlet used on both

nitrogen, oxygen or other gas cylinders. Be sure you
use dry nitrogen (99.8 % purity).

Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil

under pressure can cause serious injury to persons on
or near the machine.

To prevent possible injury, perform the procedure

that follows before testing and adjusting the hydraulic
system.

ReferenceRefer to Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for

Troubleshooting" before you begin the test.

Lower the Piston in Blade Cushion

Accumulators
1. Start the engine. Turn the blade cushion ON.

2. Move the joystick all the way forward into the detent position. The blade
float will be activated.

3. Turn the blade cushion OFF. Deactivate the blade float. Stop the engine.

In order to correctly charge the accumulator, the piston in the blade cushion
accumulator must be on the bottom of the cylinder. The air temperature
outside the accumulator is the ambient temperature. Before the dry nitrogen
pressure in the accumulator can be accurately checked, the temperature of the
accumulator must be equal to the ambient temperature. Before the
accumulator may be correctly charged, the temperature of the accumulator
must be equal to the ambient temperature.

Use table 3 in order to determine the correct charging pressure for the
Accumulator.

1. Remove both cover (10) and the cap from the valve assembly (9) on the
accumulator.

2. Install pressure gauge (5) into the quick disconnect on valve (6) .
Pressure gauge (5) is a 25000 kPa (3625 psi) pressure gauge. This
pressure gauge should be used in order to check the nitrogen pressure in
the accumulator. Close valve (6) .
3. Install chuck (4) onto valve (9) of the accumulator.

4. Turn valve (3) fully in the clockwise direction. Measure the air
temperature around the accumulator. This outside temperature is the
ambient temperature. When you measure the precharge pressure of the

accumulator, refer to Table 3. Locate the ambient temperature in the left

column of the table. Read the pressure that is located in the right column
of this row in order to find the correct charging pressure. The reading on
pressure gauge (5) corresponds to the pressure of the dry nitrogen gas in
the accumulator. The pressure on the gauge must be within the tolerances
that are shown in table 3.

5. Decrease the nitrogen pressure if the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator

is greater than the specified value in Table 3. Slowly open valve (3) in
order to decrease the pressure.

6. Increase the nitrogen pressure if the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator

is less than the specified value in Table 3. Increase the nitrogen pressure
to the specified level. Increase the nitrogen pressure according to
"Charging the Blade Cushion Accumulator".

7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the other accumulator.

Charging the Blade Cushion Accumulator

Increase the nitrogen pressure in the accumulators according to the following
procedure:
1. Connect the hose to regulator (8) on the nitrogen cylinder. Connect the
other end of the hose to valve (6) .

2. Close valve (6) . Open the valve on the nitrogen cylinder. Adjust pressure
regulating screw (1) on regulator assembly (8) . Adjust pressure
regulating screw (1) until pressure gauge (2) is at the correct charging
pressure. Use Table 3 in order to determine the correct charge pressure
for the accumulator.
3. Open valve (6) . Charge the accumulator. Close valve (6) . Compare the
reading on pressure gauge (2) with the reading on pressure gauge (5) . If
the two readings remain constant and if the readings are equal, the
accumulator has been correctly charged.

If there is a decrease in the reading on pressure gauge (5) , open valve

(6) . Allow more of the dry nitrogen gas to flow into the accumulator.

Repeat Step 3 until pressure gauge (2) and pressure gauge (5) have the
same reading. These two readings do not change when valve (6) is
closed.

4. Close valve (6) . Close the valve on the nitrogen cylinder.

5. Turn valve (3) fully in the counterclockwise direction.

6. Remove the charging equipment.

7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the other accumulator.

Accumulator Charge Procedure for a Rebuilt

Accumulator

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are
contained during performance of inspection,
maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the
product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable
containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500,

"Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools
and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on
Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations

and mandates.

It is necessary to remove all of the air from the accumulator. After the
accumulator is rebuilt, put approximately 0.9 L (1 qt) of SAE 10W hydraulic
oil in the nitrogen chamber of the accumulator. This oil will be used to help
remove the air from the nitrogen chamber of the accumulator. This hydraulic
oil also lubricates the top seal of the piston in the accumulator.

Install the rebuilt accumulator on the machine. Follow the following

procedure to charge the rebuilt accumulator.

1. Install the 175-5507 Nitrogen Charging Group .

2. Turn valve (3) fully to the right. Open valve (6) .

3. Start the engine and allow the engine to run until the engine is warm.
Activate the blade cushion control.
Hydraulic oil will flow into the bottom of the accumulator. The air will
first be forced out of the upper chamber of the accumulator through the
test equipment. Then, the hydraulic oil will be forced out of the upper
chamber of the accumulator through the test equipment. When the
hydraulic oil stops flowing out of the top of the accumulator, the upper
chamber of the accumulator will contain no air.
4. Close valve (6) completely. The piston in the accumulator will be at the
top of the accumulator.
5. Charge the accumulator according to the procedure in "Charging the
Blade Cushion Accumulator". Rebuilt accumulators require longer
charging times. New accumulators require less charging time. When the
accumulator has been rebuilt, the piston is located in the top of the
cylinder. The piston will be forced to the bottom of the cylinder during
the charging procedure.
6. If necessary, repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for the other accumulator.
