WolfPac

3.1 INTRODUCTION & OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Congratulations on your purchase of the WolfPac 2500! You've made an excellent choice! The WolfPac 2500 is
ergonomically engineered to optimize operator interface with the total machine--it's really "user friendly". Besides
good visibility to the roll-edge as well as the work surface, you'll find that the controls are exactly in the right places
for maximum comfort.
The roller is designed to give you high productivity at a low cost. High compaction force is obtained by the line
contact the drum makes with the surface to be compacted. A two inch wide contact area over the length of the
drum, produces more than ten times the unit area pressure than that of a ten thousand pound eccentric force
vibratory plate compactor.
This product is completely hydrostatically controlled. The variable flow pump delivers oil to the fixed
displacement motor which in turn drives the rear drum via a chain. Movement of the forward / reverse lever
allows infinitely variable speed in both the forward and reverse direction. The feathering characteristics of the
pump eliminates scuffing and or tearing of the asphalt mat when changing direction.
There is power steering--a feature no operator wants to be without. This eliminates the hard steering and erratic
movement that an operator experiences with no power steering units.
A 30-gallon polyethylene water tank provides long running time between refills. A water level sight gauge, visible
from the operator's compartment, can be monitored during actual operation. The low maintenance, gravity flow
sprinkler system features dual controls and noncorrosive sprinkler bars. For spreading the water and cleaning the
drums, there are cocoa mats and scrapers.
Upon receipt of your WP2500, carefully check for any freight damage. Any damage should be immediately reported
to the carrier and a claim registered.
The roller is manufactured to the strictest specifications and inspection procedures. If any material or manufacturing
defects are found, return the tag on the machine with assembler's signature and your findings to the manufacturer.
We want to know when a product is less than perfect. We also welcome any and all input on how the product may
serve you better.
The following instructions were compiled to provide you information on how to obtain long and trouble free use of
the roller. Periodic maintenance of the roller is essential. Read the manual in its entirety and follow the instructions
carefully. Failure to do so may injure yourself or a bystander.
