NOTICE:
STARTING THE FIRST TIME
If the power pack was received without hydraulic oil in the tank 
and hoses, the oil levels must be checked carefully before us-
ing it for the fi rst time.

A new empty hydraulic hose set will require approx. 1.8 liters 
(2 quarts) of oil.

After starting the power pack and turning the fl ow selector to 
the desired setting, the oil will fi ll the hydraulic hoses.  Before 
putting the machine to work the hydraulic oil tank level should 
be checked.  

Stop the engine and add hydraulic oil as needed.

Before starting;
Always set the fl ow controller to “0” before starting.
Connect the hoses to the tool and to the power pack.
The AUTOMATIC THROTTLE switch can be turned to either 
ON or OFF.

After starting;
Let the engine warm up for 1 to 2 minutes.
Turn the FLOW SELECTOR to the desired setting.  This 
makes the hydraulic oil fl ow from the pump through the hoses 
to the tool.
  
In cold weather we recommend letting the power pack pump 
the oil through the hoses and the tool until the temperature of 
the oil has reached a minimum of 10°C (50°F) before using the 
tool.  This ensures the proper function of the automatic throttle. 

See page 13 for a full explanation on how to adjust the sensi-
tivity of the AUTOMATIC THROTTLE function.
