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).

Wheel Axle assembly Installation
9. Re-align the Actuator rod mounting hole with the
holes in the Wheel Axle assembly brackets and re-
insert the bolt, washers, spacers (if supplied) and nut
that mounts the actuator to the wheel axle assembly
using (2) 3/4" wrenches (or socket set). Tighten until
locknut, washers and bolt head are firmly snug against
the wheel axle assembly brackets without bending the
brackets (Fig 7).
10. Replace both tires and hub/axle assemblies back
into Wheel Axle assembly wheel block holes and secure
both Lynch Pins back into each wheel axle. (Fig 8).
11. Both people grab the Tongue and carefully lower
unit back down to working position (Fig 9).
6. ABI recommends this be a 2 person job to
avoid injury when re-assembling! Attaching the
replacement Wheel Axle assembly will just be the
reverse order of removing the old Wheel Axle assembly.
Make sure Rascal is stable to prevent falling over
when replacing components.
7. While 1 person is holding the Tongue and Body
Frame the other person can hold the wheel axle
assembly in position while inserting the first bolt
(with washer by bolt head) to secure the Wheel Axle
assembly and Body Frame to the Scar/Profile Blade
weldment. Make certain the 1 hole and 3 hole wheel
blocks are facing upwards in the same direction as
the actuator. Repeat this step on the other side (both
people may need to wiggle the tongue/body frame and
wheel axle assembly to align the holes so the bolts can
be inserted into the unit) (Fig 6).
8. Replace washers back on to both bolts. Re-thread
locknuts back on to both bolts. Tighten both locknuts
using (2) 1-1/8" wrenches (or socket set) until locknuts,
washers and bolt heads are firmly snug against the
Scar/Profile Blade weldment brackets without bending
the brackets (Fig 6).
Replace bolt,washers, spacers
(if supplied) and nut.
Make certain the 1 hole and 3 hole
wheel blocks are facing upwards in
the same direction as the actuator.
While one person is holding the
Tongue and Body Frame, the other
person holds the Wheel Axle assembly
while pulling the bolts out.
The Wheel Axle assembly
can be removed.
Replace washers and nuts.
