OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Front Gauge Wheels

1.

The VT Plus is equipped with castering gauge
wheels at the outer front corners of each wing. These
gauge wheels are used to limit depth of the wings,
and prevent gouging and buckling of wing frames.

2.

Gauge wheels are not intended to carry the wing, but
prevent excessive depth. Adjust the wheels to carry
some weight, but not enough to hold the wing from
reaching operating depth set with the main lift
hydraulics.

IMPORTANT

Excessive down pressure can cause the implement
to throw a center ridge.

3.

To adjust the gauge wheel depth, loosen and adjust
the nuts on each side of the gauge wheel cross. A
wrench is provided on the implement for this
adjustment. All other connections should remain
tight. Securely tighten the adjusting nuts when
complete. Both gauge wheel assemblies should be
set the same. Verify adjustment by measuring the
length of the bolt centers of the gauge wheel
adjustment rod.
