[Harry]

Setting up your ABI Attachments Arena Rascal Pro ATV UTV Arena Drag is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Initial Setup:

   • Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the Rascal using a utility knife, taking care not to cut any securing straps.
   • Check that all parts, including the profile blade and hitch/tongue, are present and undamaged.
   • Cut the banding straps securing the Rascal to the pallet, starting with the center bands.
   • Locate the hitch bar and insert it into the slotted end of the tongue assembly, securing it with the provided bolts and nuts.
   • Remove the pin securing the gold top link to the tower at the rear of the Rascal.
   • Attach the top link to the rear tower by inserting the pin through the center hole.
   • Use the rear jack to adjust the finish rake to match the height of your tow vehicle hitch.
   • Align the Rascal hitch with your tow vehicle and secure it using the provided hitch pin.

2. Operation Setup:

   • When using scarifiers, adjust the top link to achieve the desired cutting angle.
   • Set the depth of the profile blades by raising the wheels off the ground and lowering the blade to your preferred depth.
   • Use the top link to adjust the pitch of the blade, ensuring it sits level to the ground.
   • Lower the finish rake to the surface material using the rear manual jack to set its operating position.

3. Attaching to Tow Vehicle:

   • Back your tow vehicle close to the Rascal tongue.
   • Raise or lower the Rascal wheels until the tongue aligns with the pin hitch receiver on your tow vehicle.
   • Slide the Rascal tongue over the pin hitch receiver and secure it with a hitch pin and lynch pin.
   • Lower the wheels to raise the ground-engaging components, preparing the drag for transport.

4. Disconnecting from Tow Vehicle:

   • Lower the finish rake to a grading position using the rear jack.
   • Raise the wheels until the Rascal's weight rests securely on the finish rake.
   • Ensure the Rascal's weight is supported by the finish rake and scarifiers/profile blades before removing the pin connecting it to the tow vehicle.
