Charge Location
Testing the Accumulator Pressure
1. On charge valves containing 5/8 inch hex locking nuts, first loosen the locking nut 1-1/2 turns.
2. Holding the chuck end of the tester, turn the gauge fully counter-clockwise to ensure the stem inside
the chuck is completely retracted.
3. Thread the tester onto the charging valve of the tool accumulator (do not advance the gauge end into
the chuck end. Turn as a unit).
Seat the chuck on the accumulator charging valve and hand tighten only.
4. Advance the valve stem by turning the gauge-end clockwise.
5. Read the pressure on the gauge (pressure should be between 500 & 600 psi/35 & 42 bar).
6. If the pressure is low, recharge the tool.
