ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTMENTS
General
CAUTION! The PP518 hydraulic unit must be serviced
before it is used.
In certain consumer markets, the hydraulic unit can be
delivered filled with both engine and hydraulic oil.
Remove the hydraulic unit from the transport packaging and
place it on a level surface.
IMPORTANT! Only use the lifting eye when
!
lifting the hydraulic unit.
Filling engine oil
Check the engine's oil level
1 Engine oil fill
2 Dipstick
If there is no oil on the dipstick, the engine must be filled with
oil according to the instructions under the Engine oil heading
or see the instruction manual from Briggs & Stratton.
Filling hydraulic oil
Fill the hydraulic oil tank
Use only premium quality hydraulic oil such as ISO 46. See
the Hydraulic oil section for other alternatives. The total oil
volume required to fill the container the first time is 10 litres
(2.6 gal). The oil must be filled up to the centre of the gauge
glass.
Check the oil level and adjust if required after the first test run.

Connecting the hydraulic hoses
Clean the hydraulic hose couplings with a cloth before
connecting them.
Connect the hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic unit. Connect the
two couplings to the free ends of the hoses. The hoses are
now ready to be filled with oil from the oil container.
CAUTION! The hoses can be connected to the power unit
with either hose end.
All sets of hoses with couplings which are fitted as outlined in
this illustration always result in complete compatibility
between the power unit, hoses and tools.
If the hydraulic hoses (7.5 m/25 ft) are empty, a further 1.8
litres (2 quart) of oil or so must be added to the oil tank, after
the power unit has been operated for the first time. If an extra
30 metre (100 ft) long, 5/8 inch hose set is used, about 12
litres (3.2 gal) of oil must be added.
The oil level in the oil tank must be checked several times
when a new set of hoses are being filled.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tyre pressure. The tyres are tubeless.
If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre will be completely
deflated. Adjust the pressure to 2 bar (30 psi).
