Hydraulic Pressure Reservoir, Disposing
- The installed hydraulic pressure reservoir is around a closed hollow body; that is impinged on by the prefilled working gas (nitrogen) with an inner pressure
- Because it is prohibited to scrap a closed hollow body, the hydraulic pressure reservoir must be drained before disposal.
-- Remove the hydraulic pressure reservoir. Refer to GEAR ACTUATOR MODULE AND HYDRAULIC PRESSURE RESERVOIR, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
CAUTION:
The system is under pressure.
- Wear protective eyewear and hearing protection when discharging the pressure reservoir.
- When the drill bit passes through in the gas space due to the internal pressure the shavings can be flung around.
-- Tension the hydraulic pressure reservoir in the vise.
-- Completely drill out approximately 25 mm (0.98 in.) -dimension x- from the square deck area with a 3 mm drill bit.
-- The pressureless hydraulic pressure reservoir can then be scrapped.
