WHAT TOOLS CAN BE POWERED

The PP 418 power pack is equipped with an adjustable flow hydraulic pump which produces hydraulic power more efficiently than a more commonly used fixed displacement gear pump.

The PP 418 power pack is suited to power any hydraulic tool with the following specifications;

Hydraulic valve:

Open Center”

Flow Requirement:

20, 30 or 40 l/min

Maximum Pressure:

(5, 8 or 10 gal/min)

140 bar (2000 psi) or higher

CAUTION

If a tool requires 20 lpm/5 gpm of flow - it SHALL NOT be operated with a higher setting – such as 8 or 10 gal/min. This can cause severe damage to the tool or even personal injury.

Always consult the manufacturer of a tool before hooking it up to the power pack.

Examples of Husqvarna hydraulic tools that can be used with the PP 418 without any modifications:

Hand Saw

K2500

Ring Saws

K3500, K3600

Core Drill

DM406H

Wall Saw

WS325

Other popular tools are:

Hydraulic Chain Saw

Hydraulic Water Pump

Hydraulic Breaker

If you are unsure of the compatibility of any tool - please consult the tool manufacturer or

Husqvarna Construction Products.

HYDRAULIC HOSES AND COUPLERS

The PP 418 includes a 7.5 m (25 ft) long hose set in a 1/2” (12.7 mm) inside diameter. You can attach ONE additional 1/2” hose of up to 10 m (33 ft) (total of 18-20 meters / 60-65 ft). If you require a longer hose for your application we recommend the following:

Maximum hose extension - up to 40 m (130 feet) total distance:

-Use the 7.5 m (25 feet) of hose included with the power pack.

-Make two 16 m (53 ft) extension hoses in a minimum of 5/8” (16 mm) hose diameter.

One 32 m (100 ft) length can also be used - however it is more bulky to handle.

We strongly recommend using HTMA “Flat Face” compatible quick couplers.

CAUTION

The hydraulic hoses and fittings shall have a minimum pressure rating of 140 bar (2000 psi) with a safety factor of 4 to 1.

NOTICE:

The direction of flow through the system is always; male fitting into the female fitting. This means that any extension hoses should be made up the same way. If you have a male fitting in one end of a hose you should always have a female fitting in the opposite end. Never use two fittings of the same gender on the same hose.

CAUTION

The hydraulic oil and therefore the hoses and hydraulic couplers can get scalding hot during normal operation.

A hydraulic coupler at a temperature of 50°C (120°F) will be perceived as HOT to the touch. It is normal that the power pack oil might become as hot as 60°C (145°F) if operated on a very hot day with ambient temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F).

For reference - a car engine typically operates at 90°C (195°F)

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.
