Setting up for use with profile blades
On a flat surface, raise the wheels of the Rascal off the ground. It may be helpful to rest the wheels on some blocks for this
adjustment, otherwise you can rest the blades on the ground. You can then lower the blade to the depth you want it to run
in the arena. Remember, the wheels maintain the depth, so if the blade is 2" below the bottom of the wheel, that is how
deep it will run in the footing. Now use the top link to adjust the pitch of the blade. The blade should always sit level to the
surface of the ground. If the blade is tilted upwards, this will cause the Rascal to "ski" upward, causing waves in the footing.
If the blade is tilted downwards, this will cause the Rascal to dig in more, endangering the base. The profile blade should
always run level to the base.
Adjusting the finish rake
The finish rake will be adjusted with the Rascal in use.
Take the Rascal to the area where it will be used. Raise
the wheels to allow the scarifiers/profile blades to
enter the surface at the desired depth. Pull the Rascal
forward several feet and come to a slow stop. Adjust
the finish rake to rest firmly on the surface of the
material (about 1/2" of penetration) using the square
jack on the rear of the tool.
