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.
OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
The AE-40L AERA-vator is designed to attach to a tractor with a category one three point
hitch, 540 PTO, and a minimum of 12 horsepower. However, a larger tractor may be re-
quired for increased lifting capacity. Check the tractor owner and operator’s manual for lift
capacity. The weight of the AE-40Lis 570 lbs.
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
quickly in an emergency.
