What is generally the first step in removing an accumulator from an aircraft?

  1. Disconnect the hydraulic lines

  2. Remove the accumulator

  3. Relieve system pressure

  4. Check the accumulator's pressure

The correct answer is: Relieve system pressure

In removing an accumulator from an aircraft, the first step is generally to relieve the system pressure (Option C). This is important to ensure that there is no stored pressure in the system, which could pose a safety risk during the removal process. By relieving the system pressure first, maintenance personnel can work on disconnecting hydraulic lines and removing the accumulator safely and without the risk of hydraulic fluid under pressure.
