When operating on hills you should consider the following:

(A) Operate the machine up and down the hills rather than across them.
(B) Use the rear wheel depth/stability control knob to set the rear wheels for extra

stability. This can be a great benefit when you do choose to run the aerator across a
hill. An added benefit of using the rear wheel depth control when aerating across a
hill is that you will improve the consistency of the cores pulled from the uphill tines
when compared to those pulled by the downhill tines.

(C) Removing the downhill weight reduces roll-over risk and maintains consistent core

plug length. (See Figure 8)

(D) Remove remaining weight from downhill side to uphill side after each pass when

operating across hills.

WARNING: NEVER DISENGAGE TINES FROM GROUND WHEN TRAVELLING UP OR DOWN
HILL. ONLY DISENGAGE ON FLAT SURFACE.

TRANSPORTING THE HUSQVARNA AERATOR

MODEL AR19 and AR25

The removable weights are for side hill stability and tine penetration as applicable.

CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT AERATORS.

With the weights in place, these models are designed for easy loading and unloading on ramps and
trailers. The treaded front wheel provides increased control during transport. Use engine power to
load unit.
