Connection to Hydraulic Power Sources
The cut-off saw can be connected to various hydraulic power sources, such as ex-
cavators, trucks, loaders, tractors etc., and of course HYCON powerpacks, the design
of which ensures your new HYCON cut-off saw the absolute best working conditions.
It is important that the cut-off saw is not subjected to an oil flow and a working pres-
sure beyond its design capability. Please refer to the ID-tag on the saw in case of
doubt.
Check the oil supply and the working pressure by means of test equipment. The test
equipment should comprise a pressure gauge, a flow meter and a valve for adjust-
ment of pressure.
Make sure that:
•
the oil supply is not too high
•
the working pressure is not too high
•
the return pressure is not too high
•
the pressure relief valve is not set higher than 172 bar
•
the internal diameter of the hoses is sufficient (min. ½”)
•
all couplings are in order
•
the power source is equipped with an oil filter of min. 25 Micron
Hoses with too small internal diameter and/or defect couplings cause the cut-off saw
to work with incorrect working pressure.
Your dealer can help you check this.
If the output of the power source is too high:
•
the power source must be adjusted to correct output
•
or you can choose to mount a HYCON oil flow divider to protect the cut-off
saw against overload
•
or you can choose one of our HYCON powerpacks. Your dealer can guide you
in choosing the right powerpack.
In case of doubt, please contact your dealer or HYCON A/S.
