Oil Flow and Pressure
Your new HYCON breaker is designed for a certain oil flow, working pressure and
maximum pressure. A too high oil flow and/or a too high pressure results in overload
of the breaker, meaning that the lifetime of your new HYCON breaker will not be as
expected, and that your service and repair costs will be too high.
It is important to check that the breaker is not supplied with an oil flow beyond its
design capacity, that the working pressure is correct and that the maximum allowed
pressure is not exceeded.
On page 6 you will find a complete survey of the technical data, and on page 7 there
is a guide to connection to hydraulic power sources and how to ensure that the brea-
ker is not overloaded.
The HYCON breakers are available both as 20 l.p.m. and 30 l.p.m. models. The
individual types are stated on the ID-tag.
Vibration Level
There are many examinations about the risk of contracting the so-called “white fin-
gers” disease as a consequence of the use of tools with high vibration level. Hand-
held electric, pneumatic and hydraulic breakers belong to this category.
To reduce the risk of injury, a number of guidelines for maximum daily use have
been laid down. The risk is minimized if you keep the times of maximum daily use.
It is therefore important to manufacturers of handheld breakers that they offer brea-
kers with a low vibration level.
At HYCON, we attach great importance to the protection of our customers in the
form of a very low vibration level.
Therefore, your new HYCON breaker is equipped with a handle designed for the
lowest possible vibration level, even though the breaker has high performance. On all
HYCON breakers we mount our best vibration-dampened handle as standard to pro-
tect you as user.
If you wish to obtain further information about the guidelines for maximum daily use,
please contact us.
