SINGLE ACCUMULATOR
CHARGING VALVE
Product Explanation,
Operating Information,
and Service Instructions
PRODUCT EXPLANATION
The accumulator charging valve is designed for installation
in an open center hydraulic system between the pump and
the downstream secondary hydraulic devices.
The accumulator charging valve supplies oil on demand to
the accumulator from the open center circuit. Accumulator
charging is accomplished at a preset rate (GPM) and is
relatively constant within the preset pressure limits.
The flow to the downstream secondary hydraulic devices
will be reduced fractionally for a short time when the
accumulator is charging. This does not noticeably affect
operation of these components. Full system pressure is
available to the downstream secondary hydraulic devices
at all times provided oil delivery and pressure from the
pump is not impeded.
This accumulator charging valve does not limit pressure
in the accumulator that is from system load downstream
of the flow through port. Over pressure protection is to be
located between the pump and accumulator charging valve.
OPERATING INFORMATION
End user must provide proper maintenance of valve,
should it become inoperable, by replacing the valve or
servicing it with the proper repair kit. See TABLE 1 on
page 3 for the proper repair kit number. Observe Service
Instruction procedures on following pages. See Warnings
A, B, and C below.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Due to allowable operating temperature of accumulator
charging valve avoid contact or burn injury may occur.
A
Be sure system energy is relieved from accumulator
charging valve before removing from machine. See
machine operating instructions for procedures to relieve
system energy.
B
Do not exceed the high limit pressure setting indicated in
TABLE 1 or system damage or failure may occur.
C
