Make sure to check the pressure in the tires to ensure they are properly inflated. If the tires look to be low on air, fill

them until they reach the manufacturer’s suggested PSI. The proper PSI for the tire can be located on the side wall of

the tire.

General information on the PSI for the Rascal tires:

 

4-ply Rascal Tire: 

45 PSI

 

2-ply Rascal Tire: 

50-60 PSI

Information on the ply of the tire can be found on the side wall of the tire.

Be sure to grease the hubs, either using a grease gun or by manually packing the bearings every 2-3 months, or more

frequently for high volume use of the Rascal. The hubs will also need to be greased before any period of storage and

prior to use after a period of storage.

Clean the Rascal using soap and water as needed. Avoid using any strong chemicals as it may damage the paint on

the Rascal. A pressure washer may be used to remove built up material on the Rascal. If using a pressure washer, be

sure to stand away from the Rascal as the pressure may remove paing from the Rascal. If cleaning the Rascal with

the optional electric actuator attachment, do not spay water directly on the wiring harness or control box. This may

damage the electric actuator, control box, or wiring harness.

Remove resut from the Rascal using a wire brush or piece of fine sand paper. Wash area with soap and water, rinse,

and allow area to dry. Spray the area with a rust inhibiting spray paint and allow to dry before use. If desired, a primer

can be used before painting the surface with the finished color. Black semi-gloss or gloss spray paint may be used.

Before each use, check to make sure none of the attaching hardware on the Rascal is loose or damaged (i.e. nuts,

bolts, pins). If any is found to be loose, make sure it is properly secured or tightened prior to using the Rascal. If 

hardware is damaged, replace it prior to operation. All hardware on the Rascal is standard SAE Grade 5 hardware.

Occasionally over the life of your tool, you may have a bent finger on the finish rake. If this occurs, you can place a

pipe over the bent finger and use the pipe to straighten the finger back out.

All of your ground engaging components are considered wear parts and will need to be replaced as they wear out from

use. You can refer to the scarifier tip guide on the following page to gauge wear on your scarifying components. To 

reorder, please contact the ABI Support department at 855.211.0598.

Be sure to keep the threaded bolts on your top link greased so they do not seize over time.
