In these photos from a service manual, the system used for illustration has two accumulators. They are mounted fluid fill side up with the porting to fill the system.
Richard is correct in the preferred accumulator mounting position, I read that in the HYDAC US catalog version.
Seems like a rupture in a bladder will require service no matter what.
From your picture, the gauge set works! Intelligence on the attachment and operation would be valuable. I only have the ZF documentation/service manual for that info (most ZF info gives you just enough to leave you guessing).
