196-9083: Refrigerant Accumulator

Description: An Accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir that allows a hydraulic system to manage extreme system demands. Accumulators store pressure, allowing the hydraulic system to use less powerful pumps to respond to temporary quick demands for pressure. Warning: Consult your dealer for the proper procedures to relieve accumulator system pressure prior to servicing the accumulator. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.
