ASSEMBLY

NOTICE

The PP 418 power pack must be serviced before use. In some markets the power pack will be delivered filled with both engine oil and hydraulic oil.

Remove the power pack from its shipping material and place it on a level surface.

CAUTION

Only use the lifting eyelet when lifting the power pack.

Step 1

Check the engine oil level. If no oil is present on the dipstick add oil in accordance to the recommendations on page 8 or consult the BRIGGS & STRATTON Operator’s Manual.

Step 2

Fill the hydraulic oil tank.

Use only a high quality hydraulic oil – ISO 46. See page 8 for other alternatives. The total first time oil amount needed is 10 liters (2.6 gal) to fill the tank. The oil should be filled to the middle of the sight glass.

The oil level must be rechecked and refilled after the initial test running has been done - see page 12.

Step 3

Hook up the hydraulic hoses to the power pack. Connect the two couplers in the free end of the hose. The hoses are now ready to be charged with oil from the oil tank.

NOTE:

The hoses can be installed with either end to the power pack. Any set of hoses assembled with the couplers as in this illustration will always have full compatibility between power pack, hoses and tool.

If the hydraulic hoses (7.5 m/25 ft) are empty they will require approximately 1.8 liters (2 quarts) of additional oil to be added to the oil tank after running the power pack for the first time.

If an additional 30 m (100 ft) of 5/8” hose set is used they will require approximately 12 liters (3.2 gal) to be added. The oil level in the oil tank must be rechecked several times when filling a new hose set.

Step 4

Check the tire pressure. The wheels are tubeless. If the tire pressure becomes too low the wheel will deflate completely. Inflate to 2 bar (30 psi)

Step 5

The power pack is delivered without the battery cables installed to the battery. Please read;

SERVICING THE BATTERY on page 10.

The original equipment battery is maintenance free. Do not attempt to open or remove caps or covers. Adding or checking the level of electrolyte is not necessary.

WARNING

Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases.

Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

Step 6

Fill the fuel tank with fresh clean gasoline. See warnings and recommendations on page 8. Add only fuel in a quantity that will be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness. If the power pack is stored with fuel in the tank for longer periods we recommend to use a commercially available “Fuel Stabilizer”.

The Husqvarna PP 418 is a versatile and powerful pole saw designed specifically to tackle various pruning and cutting tasks with ease and efficiency. Tailored for both homeowners and professionals alike, the PP 418 combines an array of innovative technologies and features that enhance its usability and performance.

One of the standout characteristics of the Husqvarna PP 418 is its lightweight design, which allows users to maneuver it effortlessly during extended periods of use. This feature is advantageous for homeowners with larger gardens or for professionals who often find themselves working in different locations. The telescopic shaft can be extended, increasing its reach and enabling users to access high branches without the need for a ladder.

Powering the PP 418 is a robust gas engine that provides a perfect balance of power and efficiency. This ensures that users can efficiently cut through thick branches and limbs without experiencing the fatigue associated with weaker saws. The engine is engineered to offer outstanding torque, allowing for smooth operation even under heavy load conditions.

Safety is another priority in the design of the Husqvarna PP 418. It features a protective hood that shields the operator from falling debris while working. 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.
