Disassembly Procedures (Continued):
3. Using a 14mm allen wrench, remove the accumulator by removing the set
screws holding the accumulator to the back head. (Note: If you have the
optional lifting eye kit installed this must be removed as well.)
4.
Turn the accumulator upside
down and insert it into a vise.
Lock it securely. Do NOT use
the large nut in the center of the
accumulator body to loosen the
body. Step 5 will instruct you on
how to properly remove the body
from the cover.
Removal of the nut will cause damage to the accumulator and cause it to
malfunction. In the even that you have tried to turn the nut:
•
Continue to rotate the nut until – when you look into the rings of the
accumulator body – the diffuser rings are fully open and there are no
webs blocking the holes.
•
Tackweld the nut to the accumulator body.
