STARTING CHECKLIST

BEFORE YOU OPERATE THE POWER PACK, PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CHECKLIST:

-Have you read and do you understand ALL instructions and warnings in this manual?

-Is the battery properly charged and installed? (page 10)

-Are the tires properly inflated? (page 9)

-Is the engine oil at the proper level? (page 9)

-Is the fuel tank filled with fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline? (page 8)

-Has the hydraulic tank been filled to the proper level? (pages 8 and 9)

-Are you familiar with the controls, their location and function? Operate them before you start the engine.

-Have you attached the hydraulic hoses to the power pack? Connect the other end of the hoses to a hydraulic tool or to each other. (page 9)

WARNING

Before each use, carefully inspect the power pack for any damage to any of its parts and components. Pay careful attention to any leakage of gasoline or oil. Under no circumstance should the power pack or any of its attachments be operated if you find damage or are suspicious that something appears to be damaged.

STARTING PROCEDURE:

WARNING

ASPHYXIATION HAZARD Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated area can result in injury or death due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning.

NOTICE:

STARTING THE FIRST TIME

If the power pack was received without hydraulic oil in the tank and hoses, the oil levels must be checked carefully before us- ing it for the first time.

A new empty hydraulic hose set will require approx. 1.8 liters (2 quarts) of oil.

After starting the power pack and turning the flow selector to the desired setting, the oil will fill the hydraulic hoses. Before putting the machine to work the hydraulic oil tank level should be checked.

Stop the engine and add hydraulic oil as needed.

Before starting;

Always set the flow controller to “0” before starting. Connect the hoses to the tool and to the power pack.

The AUTOMATIC THROTTLE switch can be turned to either ON or OFF.

After starting;

Let the engine warm up for 1 to 2 minutes.

Turn the FLOW SELECTOR to the desired setting. This makes the hydraulic oil flow from the pump through the hoses to the tool.

In cold weather we recommend letting the power pack pump the oil through the hoses and the tool until the temperature of the oil has reached a minimum of 10°C (50°F) before using the tool. This ensures the proper function of the automatic throttle.

See page 13 for a full explanation on how to adjust the sensi- tivity of the AUTOMATIC THROTTLE function.

Tailored for both homeowners and professionals alike, the PP 418 combines an array of innovative technologies and features that enhance its usability and performance.

Powering the PP 418 is a robust gas engine that provides a perfect balance of power and efficiency.

Husqvarna's unique LowVib® technology is incorporated into the PP 418, which significantly reduces vibrations experienced during operation. This added feature not only enhances comfort but also helps to prevent long-term health issues associated with prolonged exposure to vibrations.

Another notable feature of this pole saw is the easy-to-use chain tensioning system, which allows users to adjust the chain tension quickly without the need for additional tools. This is particularly beneficial for maximizing efficiency and maintaining optimal performance throughout the workday.

Moreover, the Husqvarna PP 418 is equipped with a quality cutting bar and chain that ensures clean cuts every time. The durable materials used in its construction promote longevity, making it a worthwhile investment for both casual users and professionals who require reliability in their equipment.
