How to pressurize accumulator

When pressurizing accumulator or releasing pressure is needed more frequently during normal operation, please check the following items:

• check tilt cylinder for possible internal leakage
  Pressurize the accumulator, detach the top hose from the tilt cylinder (piston side) and check whether the cylinder is dripping at the connection.
• check saw cylinder for possible internal leakage
  Pressurize the accumulator, detach the hose on the piston side of the saw cylinder and check whether the cylinder is dripping at the connection.
• check the nitrogen filling of the storage tank
  Pressurize the accumulator when the pressure difference between "tilt grapple up" and "tilt grapple down" is more than 12 bar. In this case there is not enough nitrogen. Please mount a new storage tank.
