4-13 HARROWS
4-13.1 Refer to harrow manuals for operation
and maintenance instructions.
4-14 FRONT GAUGE WHEELS
4-14.1 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.
4-14.2 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 oper-
ating depth set with the main lift hydraulics.
IMPORTANT
EXCESSIVE DOWN PRESSURE CAN CAUSE
THE
IMPLEMENT TO THROW A CENTER
RIDGE.
4-14.3
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. Se-
curely tighten the adjusting nuts when com-
plete. Both gauge wheel assemblies should
be set the same. Verify adjustment by mea-
suring the length of the bolt centers of the
gauge wheel adjustment rod.
