IGNITION SWITCH

STOP – Kills the engine – no power to any of the electrical devices.

RUN – Run position for the engine. Please note that the hour meter will collect time whether or not the engine is running. If the key is left in the RUN position the battery will also loose power more quickly.

START – Turns the engine starter motor.

THROTTLE CONTROL

The engine has a very accurate electronic throttle and governing system. The engine speed is strictly controlled electronically and you cannot make any simple mechanical adjustments to the governing system. The electronic control will accurately hold the speeds as indicated below.

The throttle control switch allows you to select one of two different operating throttle control modes:

1.Automatic throttle control switch in the OFF position.

-During the starting procedure the engine will run at 2100 RPM for 5 seconds.

-After 5 seconds the engine speed will increase to 3100 RPM and hold that speed.

2.Automatic throttle control switch in the ON position.

-During the starting procedure the engine will run at 2100 RPM for 5 seconds.

-After 5 seconds the idle speed will drop to 1900 RPM.

-When the trigger on a tool is activated a pressure sensor switch on the power pack will increase the engine speed to 3100 RPM.

-When the tool is no longer used the engine speed will drop back to 1900 RPM after 5 seconds.

cont..

There is a slight delay for the engine to go from idle speed to full throttle operation. To help prevent this inconvenience, the full throttle position is maintained for 5 seconds. This is particularly helpful when a tool is operated intermittently (Hydraulic Breaker for example) and full power is required instantly.

If desired, full throttle operation can be maintained by moving the Automatic throttle control switch to the OFF position.

The sensitivity of the automatic throttle control system can be adjusted to compensate for conditions such as increased back pressure from adding hose extensions, operation at lower temperatures, oil viscosity differences, etc.

Please see “ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC THROTTLE” on page 13.

FLOW SELECTOR

To adjust the oil flow PULL out on the flow selector knob and move it to the left for the desired oil flow. Please consult the operator’s manual for flow requirements of a specific tool.

Do not use a higher than recommend setting since that can damage the tool.

After the work is finished ALWAYS return the flow selector to “0” before stopping the engine.

Always start the engine with the flow selector in the “0” position. This ensures that the electric starter can turn over the engine.

This power pack is capable of producing up to 40 liter/ 10 gal of oil flow per min. The factory pressure relief valve setting is 148bar (2150psi) “cracking” pressure.

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

Additionally, the ergonomic handle is designed to provide a secure grip, reducing the risk of accidents during operation. The weight distribution of the tool has been carefully considered to minimize strain on the user's arms and back.

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.

Combining innovative features, outstanding power, and user-friendly design, the Husqvarna PP 418 stands out as an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain their trees and shrubs efficiently and safely.
