So, I gotta pre-charge this accumulator... what's the right way to hook this thing up and get it done without messin' anything up?

Installation involves removing the gas valve guard and valve cap, then filling the accumulator about 10% full with system fluid for a cushion. After that, you can install the gas charging assembly on the gas valve stem and start pre-charging slowly with dry nitrogen gas, using a gas regulator.
