OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Storage
1. The service life of the VT Plus will be extended by
proper off-season storage practices. Prior to storing
the unit, complete the following procedures:
a. Completely clean the unit.
b. Inspect the machine for worn or defective parts.
Replace as needed.
c. Repaint all areas where the original paint is worn
off.
d. Grease all exposed metal surfaces of shanks,
points and discs.
e. Apply a light coating of oil or grease to exposed
cylinder rods to prevent them from rusting.
f. Lubricate each point of the machine as stated in
“Lubrication Maintenance” on page 4-21.
2. Store the unit in a shed or under a tarpaulin to protect
it from the weather. The ground tools and tires should
rest on boards, or some other object, to keep them
out of the soil.
3. If the unit must be stored outside, unfold the VT Plus
to prevent moisture buildup in the disc gang and
wheel bearings.
4. If the unit is stored in the folded position, make sure
the transport lock pins are installed to prevent wing
frames settling.
5. Slide the rear jack tube from transport position and
into slot from bottom of rear jack mount. Pin jack tube
in position. Attach jack to rear jack tube and pin in
position. Crank jack until the rear of the machine is
supported (See Figure 4-23.)
