Safety
General
The following pages outline important
safety information. At Goldacres safety is
a high priority. These safety and warning
instructions MUST be followed to ensure the
safe operation of your Goldacres equipment.
Explanation of key terms used in this
operator’s manual are:
DANGER - You will be killed or seriously hurt
if you don’t follow instructions
WARNING - You can be seriously hurt if you
don’t follow instructions
CAUTION - You can be hurt if you don’t
follow instructions
NOTE - Is used to notify people of
installation, operation or maintenance
information that is important but not hazard
related.
The Operator
All operators of this equipment should be
adequately trained in the safe operation
of this equipment. It is important that all
operator’s have read and fully understand
the operators manual prior to using this
equipment.
All new operators should be trained in an
area without bystanders or obstructions and
become familiar with the sprayer prior to
operation.
Safety Precautions
WARNINGS
• Never stand within the radius of boom
wings.
• Keep clear of overhead obstructions.
• CRUSH HAZARD - Keep hands clear of
moving parts when carrying out boom
fold and unfold sequences.
• Any unauthorised modications to this
equipment may affect its function and
create a serious safety risk.
• Never attempt to clean parts or nozzles,
by blowing with mouth.
• Never attempt to siphon chemicals, or
substances, by sucking.
• It is imperative that the vehicle
manufacturer’s specications be
checked and all instructions for use when
transporting, or towing, be adhered to at
all times.
• Care should be taken when transferring
liquid into the tank to ensure that the
gross weight of the equipment does
not exceed the carrying, braking and/or
towing capacity of the vehicle to which
the equipment is attached as specied
by the vehicle manufacturer.
NOTE: 1 LITRE WATER = 1KG.
• Water weighs 1kg per litre, however
conversion factors must be used when
spraying liquids that are heavier or lighter
than water. Example: liquid urea has a
density of 1.28 kg/L and will therefore be
signicantly heavier than water if the tank
is lled completely.
• Suitable care should be taken when
driving with the equipment attached to
the vehicle. Consideration should be
given to both the carrying capacity of the
vehicle and the gradient of the terrain
when determining the speed at which the
vehicle can be driven safely.
• Ensure that the maximum speed of
the vehicle, when loaded, is within the
vehicle manufacturers limitations.
• Ensure equipment is securely fastened,
or attached to the vehicle at all times.
• Regularly check the pump mounting
bolts. The pump will always vibrate to
some degree when operating, and this
may work the bolts loose.
CAUTIONS
• Always ensure that there is adequate
room for the boom to open.
• Always ensure that the boom is
adequately supported when transporting.
• A supply of fresh water should be with
the equipment at all times.
• Standard polyethylene tanks are not
designed for use with diesel fuel or any
ammable liquid.
• Do not use this machine in ambient
temperatures exceeding 40 degrees
Celsius.
Continued over page
4
• Ensure that all bolts are tightened and
secured before operation.
• Where tted, always ensure that the
boom is securely supported when
travelling.
• Area surrounding equipment may
become slippery when wet.
NOTES
• Always read and understand the
operator’s manual prior to operation of
this equipment.
• It is the responsibility of the operator
to ensure that there are no decals
missing from the equipment and that any
damaged or missing decals are replaced
prior to operation.
• Goldacres equipment ordered or
operated, outside the guideline
limitations may not be warranted by
Goldacres for successful performance.
Operators working outside these
limitations do so at their own risk, unless
specic advice has been sought from
and provided by Goldacres in writing.
• Always read and follow the chemical
manufacturer’s guidelines for safe
application as per the chemical label.
Particular attention should be given to
the recommended target application rate
of the chemical being applied as per the
chemical label.
• Inspect the equipment thoroughly for
damage and wear before operation.
• Flush chemicals from equipment
immediately after use.
• Certain chemicals may be unsuitable for
use with Goldacres standard plumbing
designs. Consult your Goldacres dealer if
in doubt.
• Do not operate the equipment while
under the inuence of any drugs, alcohol
or if excessively tired.
• Make sure that the equipment complies
with all relevant road regulations when
transporting.
• When draining uids from the equipment
use appropriate, leak proof containers.
Do not use food or beverage containers
as someone may consume the contents
by mistake.
• After reading the operator’s manual
if there is any thing that you do not
understand please contact your
Goldacres dealer.
Safe Chemical Use
The safe use of Ag chemicals with this
equipment is the responsibility of the owner/
operators. All operators should be trained
in the safe use of Ag chemicals. Goldacres
suggest that a relevant course is completed
by owners/operators prior to operation of
this equipment as a spray unit.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Always wear close tting clothing and safety
equipment designed for the job.
Chemicals can be harmful to humans,
appropriate PPE should be used when
handling chemicals.
Always refer to the chemical manufacturers
label for guidelines on the appropriate PPE
to use with the chemicals you are using.
Goldacres also suggest that you read
and understand the following Australian
standards:
• Australian Standard for Chemical
protective clothing AS3765
• Australian Standard for Respiratory
protection devices AS1715
Airborne particles
Always stand well clear of equipment during
operation. Any spray drift is dangerous and
may be hazardous to humans and animals.
Fluids under pressure
Do not disconnect any hoses, nozzles
or lters while equipment is operating.
Disconnecting these components while
under pressure may result in uncontrolled
uid discharge which may be hazardous.
When the repair is complete ensure that
all ttings and lines are secured before re-
applying pressure.

Cuts, Stabs & Punctures
When Servicing machine, be mindful of sharp
edges on parts such as trimmed cable ties,
hose clamps, cut reinforced hose and the
edges of plates and brackets as they could
cause cut, stab or puncture injuries.
Safety Decals
Understanding safety decals and their
purpose assists in the safe operation of your
sprayer. Safety decals are there for your
protection and it is the responsibility of the
owner operator to replace damaged and/or
missing safety decals.
Regularly review safety decals with
operators. It is very important to ensure
that all new machine components and
replacement parts include current hazard
identication decals.
Replacement safety decals can be ordered
from all Goldacres dealers.

General Information &
Specications
The 3PL range is ideal for the small acreage
and hard to get areas. They can be used to
deliver water or chemical to your crops. Our
range allows you to mix and spray chemical
with multiple boom size and tank size options.
PTO shaft driven diaphragm pumps are used
to produce a high and consistent ow rate to
the booms.
These products are made with durable
industrial grade UV stabilised polyethylene
tanks.
Know Your Sprayer
Getting to know your sprayer prior to operation
is crucial in the safe and ecient operation
of this equipment. Take the time to familiarise
yourself with all the standard and optional
components tted to your sprayer, not only do
you need to know where key components are
located on your machine you need to become
competent in the correct operation of these
components prior to spraying operation.
It is also important to become familiar with
common spraying methods and common
spraying terms prior to using this sprayer for
the rst time
Chassis
The chassis is an all steel construction. The
chassis is shot blasted, primed and then
protected by the Goldacres paint process for
excellent chemical resistance and durability.
Tank
All tanks are constructed from UV resistant
polyethylene. Polyethylene tanks have a very
high chemical resistance.
Due to the rotomoulding process, there can be
a variance in the overall dimensions of the tank
which in turn results in variations to the tank
capacity. For this reason, calibration markings
should be used as a guide only.
Paint Colours
Steel work: G13 Dark Green
Pump
The pump is critical to any sprayer
performance. Correct operation and
maintenance of the pump will ensure the
sprayer is able to perform to its capabilities.
Always ush pump with clean water after every
use. Prolonged chemical contact can severely
damage valves, diaphragms and seals.
Do not leave water in pump if sprayer is to
be left in a cold environment. The water may
freeze and cause damage to pump. Empty
pump of all water and cover the pump to
ensure this situation does not arise. If this has
not been done, and there is a possibility there
may be frozen water in the pump, wait until
any ice has thawed before using the pump.
Machine limitations
All Goldacres equipment is subject to
operating limitations, it is the operator’s
responsibility to ensure that this equipment
is being operated within these limitations and
appropriately to the operating conditions at
hand.
Identication
When ordering parts or requesting service
information for your sprayer it is important to

Operation
Common Spraying Methods
To ensure complete coverage in general eld
applications, Goldacres suggest that two
spray swaths (depending on boom size tted)
are completed around the outside perimeter of
the eld. After completing the outside laps you
will now have a wide headland on which to
turn when completing the remaining sections
moving up and down the length of the eld. To
avoid over application of chemical, switch o
boom sections as you pass over the already
completed headland section.
NOTE: Variations in eld sizes, shapes and
terrain may require a change in the spraying
method. Please use the most appropriate
method that is safe and suitable for your
application.
PTO Shaft Connection
These 3PL sprayers have been designed for
connection to Category 1 and 2 linkages.
1. Remove from pallet (if attached) and
position on a solid, at surface.
2. Lower the tractors linkage arms to a height
appropriate for connection to the sprayer’s
lower linkage pins, and then connect the
tractors top link to the top linkage pin of
the sprayer.
3. Make sure that all securing pins are in
place prior to raising 3PL.
4. Lift 3PL to intended spray height and then
adjust linkage top link to level the sprayer.
5. Fit PTO shaft as per the following
Instructions: When hitching a sprayer,
especially for the rst time, the following
critical points concerning the PTO
shaft must be considered: MAXIMUM
OPERATING LENGTH LB Try to obtain the
greatest possible overlap.
NOTE: In its working position, the PTO shaft
must not be extended by more than half
the prole overlap Pu available when fully
compressed Lz.
Chains
Chains must be tted so as to allow sucient
articulation of the shaft in all working positions.
The PTO shaft must not be suspended from
the chain.
Continued over page
14
PTO Shaft Length Adjustment
To adjust the length:
1 Hold the half-shafts next to each other in
the shortest working position and mark
them.
2 Shorten inner and outer guard tubes
equally.
3 Shorten inner and outer sliding proles by
the same length as the guard tubes.
4 Round o all sharp edges and remove
burrs.
5 Grease sliding proles before
reassembling.
CAUTION: When attaching shaft to sprayer
and tractor, always ensure all guard covers
are in place. Operate the PTO slowly when
the PTO shaft is rst attached to assess
installation. Care should be taken when
engaging the clutch so that sudden loading,
which can result in pump damage and gear
wear, is avoided. Ideally the pump should start
from zero pressure. It is essential to maintain
lubrication schedule while PTO shaft is in use.
PTO Shaft Lubrication
Proper grease is essential for the sprayer to
operate with maximum eectiveness and life-
expectancy.
CAUTION:
Never lubricate the PTO shaft while it is
running. It is important to keep the lubricant
and lubricant applicator clean. Wipe all
dirt from the ttings before use. Goldacres
recommends that multi-purpose grease should
be used for all lubrications.
The gures mentioned below refer to the
frequency (in hours) of lubrication for the
respective grease nipple locations.
• Pull shaft apart - apply grease to inside of
outer Telescopic prole
6. Check pump oil level prior to engaging
PTO.
7. Fill the tank with a quantity of water
sucient to test spray unit for leaks.
8. Unfold the boom as per the boom folding
instructions in this manual
9. Make sure the pressure relief valve is
backed o prior to engaging PTO.
10. Visually check that all ttings are in place
and secure and taps are in working
positions.
11. Ensure that all taps are in the o position
and bypass back to tank is open. All boom
taps should be in the o position.
IMPORTANT: Do not run diaphragm pumps
above 540 RPM.
12. To start the pump, engage the PTO at the
lowest revs possible and then gradually
increase revs until the pump reaches its
operating speed.
13. Set the pressure relief valve to the desired
spraying pressure. Once PTO has been
engaged and is running at 540RPM.
14. Gradually turn on individual boom
sections, until all sections are engaged.
15. Adjust pressure to suit desired spraying
rate.
16. Run unit at operating speed until contents
of tank are dispersed.
17. Take note of any water leaks, and tighten
ttings to rectify the problem immediately.

Spray Control Manifold
Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve provides relief when
the pressure exceeds a pre-determined
value. Altering the adjusting stem will aect
the setting at which the relief valve will come
into operation. Turning the stem clockwise
will increase the pressure relief setting. The
pressure gauge gives indication of the delivery
pressure to the boom or gunjet.
Bypass Valve
The controller features a bypass / dump valve.
To pressurise the system to use the hose reel,
boom etc., close the dump valve, the lever
needs to be pulled out. To open the dump
valve and allow all ow to return to tank under
very low pressure, the dump valve needs to be
pushed back against the tank.
Boom / Attachment Levers
The boom/attachment levers (number tted
dependent on options specied) open or close
ow to the appropriate boom section/s or
attachment/s as labeled. Pull the lever to the
ON position in order to direct ow from the
pump to the required function. Push the lever
to the OFF position to stop ow going to the
attachment that is now not required.

Electric Controls
Optional electric controllers allow for on/
o switching of individual boom sections via
boom valves, as well as a pressure adjustment
toggle to increase or decrease the operating
pressure of the boom.
Geoline console
NOTE: There is a redundant switch on the
early control boxes that is not wired into
any valve, and therefore does not perform a
function at this stage.
The Geoline control panel has boom section
switches (control box comes standard with 4
boom section switches, although commonly
only 2 or 3 are used) and the pressure
increase/decrease toggle switch.
During operation, a red LED light illuminates
when the corresponding boom switch is
turned on to indicate operation.
It is important that the console is mounted
in the cabin in such a way that it cannot
work loose and become a projectile in the
event of sudden braking or an accident. A
swivel bracket is supplied with the console to
facilitate easy mounting.
The console has two separate cables coming
from it, one being the power cable which is
required to be connected straight to a 12V
battery. The positive power wire is tted with a
10A fuse. It is important that this fuse remain
in the wiring loom when wiring into the tractor
as a safety protection fuse for both tractor and
console.
The second wiring loom coming from the
console connects to the wiring harness
mounted on the sprayer. It is important to
route the sprayer harness into the tractor
through the appropriate rubber cabin
grommets, and ensure the harness is located
rmly. Bringing the harness through the back
window of the tractor, then closing the window
can cause damage to the wires within the
harness over time. Also allowing the harness
to rub alongside the drivers seat has been
known to cause breakages in the wiring
harness.
Control station
As well as the electric controls tted to the
sprayer for boom operation, a manual control
station remains on the sprayer to allow for the
operation of any other accessories tted to the
machine including the hose reel, venturi probe
and agitator. The operation of the probe and
hose reel are covered in other sections of the
manual.
The control manifold also features 2 pressure
gauges, one representing bypass pressure and
the other boom spray line pressure.

Pressure Gauges
Testing has shown that there is a pressure
loss between the pressure gauge on the
manual regulator and the pressure at the spray
nozzles, hence the second pressure gauge,
which is plumbed into the motorised valves at
the back of the sprayer.
When using the spray boom, please follow
the gauge labelled ‘spray pressure’, and when
using the hose reel, venturi probe etc, please
follow the ‘bypass pressure’ gauge.
Above: Spray control station. All taps are
closed, and the dump valve is open providing
low pressure agitation when pump running.
Dump valve
A dump valve and manual pressure regulator
are tted to the control station. The dump
valve enables all pump delivery to bypass
back to the tank under low pressure. The
dump valve should be opened to agitate the
tank when not spraying. It is also a good
practise when starting the sprayer to have the
dump valve open. To open the dump valve,
simply push the red handle back towards the
tank. To close the dump valve, pull the red
handle forwards bringing the handle out.
All sprayer functions including boom
operation, hose reel or suction probe will not
operate with the dump valve open to bypass
(picture 3 showing the dump valve open).
Pressure regulator
The manual pressure relief valve provides
pressure adjustment for the various sprayer
functions. To increase the pressure for hand
gun operation, or operating the venturi probe
for instance, turn the pressure regulator
clockwise, which will wind more pressure on
the spring inside the regulator.
Any adjustment to the pressure setting of the
relief valve will correspond with a change in
the pressure gauge reading tted to the control
station.
It is advisable to set the pressure regulator
at around 7 bar pressure for boom spray
operation, and use the electric pressure toggle
switch on the control console to adjust the
pressure back down to the desired spraying
pressure.
Above: Manual pressure regulator with
directional indicators.
