• Consult your tractor Operator's Manual regarding operation on slopes. Do not lift the unit
while the tractor is moving (or parked) sideways on slopes above 5
°. The swing hitch may
allow the unit to swing to the downhill side and cause the tractor to roll over. On slopes
from 5
° to 15° always aim the tractor uphill before lifting the unit. We do not recommend
the unit being used on slopes above 15
°.
• Use extreme care and maintain moderate ground speed when transporting or operating on
slopes, over rough surfaces, or close to trees ditches and fences.
• Only operate during daylight hours or with good artificial light.
• The AERA-vator is not equipped for highway use. Be careful of traffic when operating
near or crossing roadways.

Before hitching to the AERA-vator familiarize yourself with all of the tractors control
functions. Be prepared to stop the tractor movement, PTO operation, and the engine
