Changing COMPETITOR'S "Top Loading" Accumulator is a hassle, time consuming and may be problematic.
COMPETITOR'S DESIGN
At the top of the accumulator, there are two nuts.
COMPETITOR'S DESIGN
Remove one nut and the bladder falls into the accumulator.
COMPETITOR'S DESIGN
Remove the second nut and the entire assembly falls into the accumulator.
COMPETITOR'S DESIGN Many accumulator users have discovered that some "top loading" accumulators actually cause additional maintenance time because the bladder top part falls into the accumulator during repair time. Once the part falls into the accumulator, the unit must be removed from the hydraulic line in order to retrieve the parts.
