AccuMight

(For 3000, 4000, 5000-psi AccuMights)

(Does not apply to Accumulators, Gas Bottles, Transfer Barrier and Float Accumulators)

ü Precharge with DRY NITROGEN (N2) GAS ONLY!

ü Never operate AccuMight without nitrogen gas precharge.

ü Release all system hydraulic pressure before attempting any maintenance or service.

ü Use on ly gen u in e ACC INC ap p roved ch argin g an d gau gin g eq u ip m en t fo r p rech argin g an d p ressu re ch eck.

ü Follow all instructions below.

ü Wear proper eye protection

ü Wear steel toed shoes

ü Take proper safety precautions

NOTE: Most AccuMights are shipped with just minimal pressure (35 psig). It is the responsibility of the user to determine the

proper precharge level and to insure that that pressure is maintained at all times. In general, precharge should equal 30% to 80% of the maximum system pressure.

If AccuMight is not yet installed: 3. Turn unit upside down (Fluid-end up). Place a small amount of fluid (10% of AccuMight capacity) into the AccuMight. Lubricate as

much of the AccuMight bladder surface area as possible.

4. Remove the protective cap(2) and the valve cap(3) (if there is one).

5. Attach the gland & nut portion (CGA -580 for 3000 psi accumulators, CGA -677 for 4000 psi and higher) of the charging assembly to a dry

nitrogen gas bottle, tighten securely. If the gland & nut do not fit, you are using the wrong gas or wrong pressure!

6. Attach the air chuck to the AccuMight bladder gas valve by hand tightening its swivel hex connection.

7. For 3000 psi AccuMight. Turn the air chuck “ T “ handle clockwise until it stops. This opens the valve core. For 4000 psi and higher

AccuMight open the valve by turning its top (small) hex nut, counter-clockwise.

8. Set nitrogen bottle gas regulator (if attached) to 35 psig. (The use of a nitrogen gas regulator is strongly recommended!)

9. Open nitrogen bottle gas valve. (If you are not using a nitrogen gas regulator, care should be taken to slowly “crack” the valve open.) With a

regulator, valve can be opened fully.

10. Pre-charge slowly (35 psig) using dry nitrogen gas, until the AccuMight bladder is fully inflated.

CCaauuttiioonn:: INITIAL PRECHARGING AT A FLOW RATE ABOVE 35 PSIG

WILL CAUSE THE BLADDER TO BURST Make sure to precharge to minimum of 10% of operating pressure

11. Continue pre-charging to desired pressure by increasing gas flow slowly.

12. For 3000 psi AccuMights . Turn the air chuck “ T “ handle COUNTER-clockwise until it stops. This CLOSES the valve core. For

4000 psi and higher AccuMights CLOSE the valve by turning its top (small) hex nut, clockwis e.

13. Remove the charging assembly. Check for gas leakage. (The use of gas leak detection fluid or soapy water is recommended.)

14. Replace the valve cap, protective cap). Tighten, hand tight.

15. Install AccuMight on system. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE.

16. Pressurize system. Operate.

AAAccccccuuuMMMiiiggghhhttt CCoommmmiissssiioonniinngg Prior to operating a new AccuMight on any system a few common sense steps should be taken

§ A qualified Fluid Power specialist should review the AccuMight’s application for correct sizing, pressure, cycling,

connections, placement and efficiency.

§ Carefully remove the AccuMight from the factory packaging, read and understand all factory labels, stickers, tags and

nameplates attached to the AccuMight and the packaging.

§ Read and understand any written factory instructions accompanying the AccuMight

§ If the AccuMight is part of a third party OEM system, read and understand all of their labeling and instructions

§ All the steps listed in AccuMight Precharging (above) should be followed.

§ The proper training of your AccuMight maintenance personnel is recommended

Consult the factory or your local Accumulators, Inc. Authorized representative, with any questions

FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SERVICE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

AAAccccccuuuMMMiiiggghhhttt PPPrrreeeccchhhaaarrrgggeee MMMaaaiiinnnttteeennnaaannnccceee For cycling applications check the precharge weekly. For non-cycling applications, monthly

You will normally lose some gas over time due to Permeance.

A more rapid loss may indicate a gas valve problem

1. Release system pressure. Not gas pre-charge.

2. Remove gas protective cap (valve guard) and valve cap.

3. Install gauging device on gas valve stem.

4. For 3000-psi accumulators, screw down air chuck “ T ” handle, check pressure. For 4000 psi and higher, open gas valve hex fitting

(do not loosen from bladder). Check pressure

5. Add additional dry nitrogen gas if necessary, using the above procedures.

6. To release excess nitrogen gas (if any) open up bleeder valve, located at bottom of gauging device, until desired pressure is achieved.
