Accumulator Charging Guide
Use our charging kit RGA-100-X for bladder accumulator pressure charging. Follow the instructions below:
- Connect the gland connector to the gas cylinder or regulator. (standard connection is CGA-580 in US, you may have different connections for overseas use or use with regulators)
- Connect the air chuck to the accumulator gas valve (Schrader type) , using wrench to tighten.
- Turn the handle on the air chuck clock-wisely all the way to push the gas valve core pin open. Make sure the bleed valve is fully closed.
- Turn on the gas cylinder (or the regulator) knob slowly to charge.
- When the pressure gauge reading reaches the desired value, stop the charging by turning off the gas knob. For new accumulator assembly, recommended pre-charge pressure is 20psi to complete the assembly.
- Turn the air chuck handle counter clock-wisely to release the gas valve core pin.
- Unscrew the air chuck. Take off the charging kit from the accumulator. For some high pressure charging, you may need to open the bleed valve after the pressure charging first to release the pressure left inside the gauge, then unscrew the air chuck from the accumulator.
