mounted upside down to the Rascal frame (for shipping
purposes) (Fig 19). Remove the Lynch pin from the bent pin
and pull the bent pin out (Fig 20). Slide the rail blade off the
frame (Fig 21). Slide the rail blade back into the end of the
Rascal frame with the tire on the rail blade facing upwards.
Re-insert the bent pin and reattach the Lynch pin (Fig 22).

Operation Guide
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, block 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. 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 (Fig 23).
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 weight of the Rascal is sitting on the finish rake
and the scarifiers/profile blades, the hitch pin connecting
the Rascal to the tow vehicle can be removed. The Rascal is
now free from the tow vehicle.

Setting up for use with Scarifiers
The scarifiers may be mounted to the Rascal when shipped.
If not, crank the front wheel jack to lower the tires and raise
the frame high enough to insert each scarifier into the frame
pockets. Pin each scarifier into the 3rd hole from the top on
the frame pockets. The flat side of the scarifier tips should be
facing fowards on the Rascal (Fig 25). Adjust the toplink to
set the cutting angle. For the best ripping angle, the toplink
should have about 2" of thread on both ends of the toplink
(Fig 24). This will give the scarifiers the proper angle for
ripping (Fig 25). The scarifier angle can be adjusted later if a
different angle works for your usage. If the toplink is showing
more thread on one end than the other, disconnect one end
from the Rascal and rotate the end of the toplink so each
side is showing the same amount of thread.
Note: Use caution when disconnecting top link this as the
Rascal may shift in the process.

To set the scarifier depth, have both the scarifier tips and
tires touching the ground, then crank the front wheel jack
to raise the tires to the desired depth (if the desired depth of
the scraifiers are 2", raise the tires up 2"). If the footing of the
area your ripping is soft, the tires may sink into the footing
up to 1/2" so minor height adjustments may be necessary to
get the desired depth.
