Wheel Axle assembly Removal
1.
ABI recommends this be a 2 person job to avoid
injury when removing bolts!
Lift the tongue of the
Rascal up in the air until the unit is supported on the
Dragmat (or weight support) bracket and Finish Rake.
Make sure Rascal is stable to prevent falling over
when taking off components
(
Fig 1
).
2.
Remove Lynch Pin from each wheel axle. Remove
both tires and hub/axle assemblies (
Fig 2
).
3.
Remove bolt, washers, spacers (spacers will only
be supplied if electric actuator is installed) and nut
that mounts actuator to wheel axle assembly using
(2) 3/4" wrenches (or socket set) (
Fig 3
).
Take caution
when removing bolt
- the actuator will swing upwards
and the wheel axle assembly will swing downwards.
Keep head, legs and feet clear.
Recommend 1 person
holding the actuator and wheel axle assembly while
the other person removes bolt.
4.
Remove both nuts and washers that mount the
wheel axle assembly and Body Frame to the Scar/
Profile Blade weldment (leave both bolts in place until
both nuts are removed) using (2) 1-1/8" wrenches (or
socket set) (
Fig 4
).
5.
While 1 person is holding the Tongue and Body
Frame the other person can hold the wheel axle
assembly while pulling the first bolt (and washer by
bolt head) out. Repeat this step on the other side (both
people may need to wiggle the tongue/body frame and
wheel axle assembly to take pressure off the bolts so
they can be removed). The wheel axle assembly is now
free from the unit. (
Fig 5
).
Remove Lynch Pins and slide
both wheel/hub assemblies off.
Remove nut,washers, spacers
(if supplied) and bolt.
Remove washers and nuts
(leave bolts in place).
