ASSEMBLY

NOTICE

The PP 418 power pack must be serviced before use.  

  In some markets the power pack will be delivered 
  fi lled with both engine oil and hydraulic oil.

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

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. 

CAUTION 

Only use the lifting eyelet when lifting the power pack.

Step 2

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

The oil level must be rechecked and refi lled 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.

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, fl ame and smoking materials away from 
batteries.  Always wear eye protection when around 
batteries.

Step 4

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

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 fi rst 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
 fi lling a new hose set. 

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”.
