Attaching the Rascal to a tow vehicle
1. Back up the tow vehicle within close range of the Rascal tongue. Put the tow vehicle in park or block up the wheels and turn off
the tow vehicle.
2. Move the Rascal as needed to allow the tongue of the Rascal to sit closer to the pin hitch receiver on the tow vehicle.
3.
Raise or lower the wheels of the Rascal, using the square hand jack located on the front of the Rascal; until the tongue of the
Rascal is sitting level to the pin hitch receiver. The tongue may need to be pushed down slightly to fully line up.
4.
Slide the Rascal tongue over the pin hitch receiver until the holes on the tongue and the pin hitch receiver line up.
5. Insert a 1/2" hitch pin in the hole and secure using a lynch pin.
6. Once the tongue is fully secured to the pin hitch receiver, confirm the hitch pin is secured using a lynch pin. Lower the wheels to
raise ground engaging components and the Rascal is ready for transport and use.
Disconnecting the Rascal from a tow vehicle
Use caution when disconnecting the Rascal from a tow vehicle.
Below is the recommended disconnect procedure for the Rascal.
1. Using the square hand jack on the back of the Rascal, lower the finish rake
down until it is in a grading position. The finish rake does not need to be at a
perfect 90 degree angle, just in a downward position. Figure 1 shows what
the finish rake should look like when in the grading position.
2.
Raise the wheels on the Rascal until the weight of the Rascal is sitting on the
finish rake. The scarifiers/profile blades may also rest on the ground at this
time as well.
3. Continue to raise the wheels on the Rascal until the square hand jack can
slide from side to side without binding up. This will indicate that the weight
of the Rascal is resting on the finish rake. The weight may also be resting on
the scarifiers/profile blades at this time as well.
4.
Once the wight of the Rascal is sitting on the finish rake and the scarifiers/profile blades, the pin connecting the rascal to the
tow vehicle can be removed. The Rascal is now free from the tow vehicle.
