•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.
