If you're down to the accumulator the last thing you want to do is hit the brakes several times. One smooth application should stop the jet then set the PB.
No disrespect. Just saying.
I was thinking the same thing. Look, you start number 2 and you lose the engine driven hyd pump, then don't panic, uh turn the electric pump on, come to a stop and work the problem. If you can't remember where the switch is for the yellow electric pump then stop on accumulator set the parking brake and call for a tow. How hard is this? You lose the yellow pump, you obviously ain't going anywhere. Not sure this is even an issue.
