4-21 STORAGE

4-21.1 The service life of the VT Plus will be
extended by proper off-season storage prac-
tices. 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 ex-
posed cylinder rods to prevent them from
rusting.
f. Lubricate each point of the machine as
stated in Section 4-8.
4-21.2 Store the unit in a shed or under a tar-
paulin 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.
4-21.3 If the unit must be stored outside, un-
fold the VT Plus to prevent moisture buildup
in the disc gang and wheel bearings.
4-21.4 If the unit is stored in the folded posi-
tion, make sure the transport lock pins are
installed to prevent wing frames settling.
4-21.5 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 sup-
ported (See Figure 4-21).
