ACCUMULATOR MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1.

General
Clean and test the accumulator any time it is removed from the engine. Remove, clean, test, and
install the accumulators as follows: (See Figure 201, 202, 203 or 204.)
CAUTION:

A.

Removal
(1)

B.

THE GOVERNOR PY FITTING IS NOT REMOVABLE FROM GOVERNOR. DO NOT

DISTURB THIS FITTING!

Remove the accumulatortofuel control tube and the accumulatortogovernor hose;

then separate the elbow, unions and clamp from the Pg accumulator. Do not apply torque
through the accumulator; use adjacent hexagonal surfaces for turning. Discard packings.

Installation
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN AND TIGHTEN FUEL, OIL, AND AIR
FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
CAUTION:

(1)

2.

Lubricate packings and install with elbow and two unions in the Pg accumulator. Tighten
elbow to 4065 lb in. (4.57.3 N.m) and unions to 5580 lb in. (6.29.0 N.m). Do not apply
torque through the accumulator. Clamp accumulator to the firewall shield using a clamp,
bolt, nut and spacer. Tighten clamp nut to 3540 lb in. (3.94.5 N.m). Install the accumulatortofuel control tube and the accumulatortogovernor hose. Tighten couplings nuts
to 80120 lb in. (9.013.6 N.m).

Cleaning
A.

3.

HOLD GOVERNOR FITTING WITH ONE WRENCH WHILE TIGHTENING NUTS

TO FITTING WITH ANOTHER WRENCH.

Clean the accumulator as follows:

(1)

Immerse the accumulator in mineral spirits; agitate until clean.

(2)

Blow accumulator completely dry, using filtered dry air.

Inspection/Check
A.

Check accumulator as follows:
