Komatsu — 29.4 PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING ACCUMULATOR

OPTIONS, ATTACHMENTS 29.4 PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING ACCUMULATOR WARNING The accumulator is charged with a high pressure nitrogen gas, which is extremely dangerous. Read the following items and handle the accumulator properly. If any problem or failure occurs within the accumulator, contact your distributor immediately. The gas must be charged into the accumulator only by a qualified person from your distributor or by a person licensed to handle a high pressure gas. Do not bring any flame or heat close to the accumulator when it is charged with gas. Do not make any hole in or weld anything to the accumulator.

Always release the gas before disposing of the accumulator or disassembling it for maintenance. Use the air bleed valve to release the gas. Every 2,000 hours or once a year, have your distributor check the gas pressure. WA450-3MC 5-9
