Oil Flow and Pressure
Your new HYCON post driver 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 post driver,
meaning that the lifetime of your new HYCON post driver will not be as expected, and that your
service and repair costs will be too high.
It is important to check that the post driver 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 7 you will find a complete survey of the technical data, and on page 9 there is a guide
to connection to hydraulic power sources and how to ensure that the post driver is not
overloaded.
Vibration Level
There are many examinations about the risk of contracting the so-called “white fingers” disease
as a consequence of the use of tools with high vibration level.
To reduce the risk of injury, a number of guidelines for maximum daily use have been laid
down. The risk is minimized if you stay below maximum of daily use.
It is therefore important to manufacturers of handheld post drivers that they offer post drivers
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.
If you wish to obtain further information about the guidelines for maximum daily use, please
