ACCUMULATOR FAILS TO ABSORB SHOCK PRESSURES
  Possible Causes   Remedy
1) Lost precharge. 1) Determine cause of lost precharge, repair if necessary. Recharge accumulator to correct precharge.
2) Precharge is too high. 2) Recharge accumulator to correct precharge pressure.
3) Diaphragm or bladder ruptured. 3) See below:
 
a) Bladder pinched when installed.
b) Check for operating fluid temperature too high.
 
a) Replace following manufacturer's installation procedure carefully.
b) Reduce temperature.
4) Piston seized. 4) Disassemble and repair or replace.
5) Hydraulic line size is too small. 5) Remove and replace line with correct size.

WILL NOT HOLD PRECHARGE
  Possible Causes   Remedy
1) Ruptured diaphragm or bladder. 1) Disassemble and replace.
2) Charging valve leaks. 2) Remove and replace.
3) Piston seal, diaphragm, or bladder leaks. 3) Disassemble and replace. Check compatibility of fluid and rubber material.
4) Loose body assembly bolts (diaphragm-type). 4) Torque bolts to proper tightness.
