General Information
& Specs
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, any calibration
markings should be used as a guide only.
Filtration:
Filtration is a critical part of the sprayer’s
performance.
ATV75 is tted with an inline suction strainer.
It is important that the strainer is cleaned out
regularly.
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.
Make sure the pump wires are connected up
to the correct terminals (red to positive, black
to negative).
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.
The 12 volt pumps are positive displacement
diaphragm pumps which provide delivery upon
demand.
They are self-priming and some models are
tted with a pressure switch which senses
the outlet pressure of the pump. The pressure
switch turns the electrical power o to the
pump at a pre-determined high pressure point.
As the outlet side of the pump is opened,
the pressure starts to drop and at a predetermined point (typically 40-75 psi) contacts
in the switch will lose causing the pump
to start automatically. The pump will then
pump until the pressure reaches the shut-o
pressure point.
CAUTION:
Do not adjust the pressure switch out so that
the pumping pressure exceeds the maximum
pressure for the pump.
If the ow demand is very low, the pump may
reach this high pressure point and cause
“cycling” (pump turns on and o rapidly).
This is not a problem unless the pump is
subject to continuous cycling within two
second intervals for long periods of time.
Altering the setting of the pressure switch, or
adjusting the agitation ball valve so that there
is some bypass back to the tank and altering
the adjustable conejet nozzle on the gunjet will
all remedy this situation, depending on what is
most suitable.
Chemical Induction:
Chemical should be put into the main tank
through the main tank lid. It is important to
ensure that chemical is thoroughly mixed prior
to spray application.
Nozzles:
As information regarding nozzles is specic
to those being used in your application,
no specic reference is made to nozzle
application rates or nozzle types in this
operator’s manual. Goldacres suggest the
use of a current nozzle selection catalogue
for reference to nozzle sizes, outputs, spray
patterns and general spraying information.
Goldacres recommends Lechler nozzles.
Identication
When ordering parts or requesting service
information for your sprayer it is important to
quote the serial number of your machine, and
the purchase date, in order to receive accurate
information. The location of the serial number
is shown in the picture.This number is located
on the warning decal as indicated below.

Operation
Connections
The following steps should be followed when
connecting to a power source:
1. Ensure that the battery is 12V DC
2. Connect the red connector to the positive
(+) terminal and the black connector to the
negative (-)terminal.
Filling
When lling the sprayer it is necessary to
use an external water source and wear the
appropriate PPE.
The following steps should be followed when
lling the tank:
1. Turn the pump o
2. Remove the tank lid
3. Add chemical as required. When lling
with water, after adding the chemical,
some agitation will take place.
4. Use external water source to ll main tank
(Do not exceed the tank capacity)
5. Replace the tank lid and ensure that it is
secure prior to switching on pump. You are
now ready to use the sprayer.
Calibration
All sprayers need to be calibrated and kept
in good condition. This will ensure that the
correct rate of chemical is applied to the
target.
Follow these steps to calibrate the sprayer:
1. Measure the spray width of the nozzle on a
dry surface (in metres)
2. Spray a test area at the intended pressure
and speed. Record distance (in metres)
covered in one minute (minute)
3. Measure the nozzle output in litres over
one minute in a measuring jug (l/min)
The spray volume can be calculated by the
following formula:
Application Nozzle output (l/min) x 10,000
rate (L/Ha) = Spray width (m) x speed (m/min)

Key parts
Spray Application
After completing the lling process, you are
now ready to start spraying.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the operator
to ensure that the chemical mix is suciently
agitated and that the conditions are right
to start spraying. Operators must wear the
appropriate PPE.
1. Switch “On” pump
2. Allow pump to build pressure
3. Engage the trigger on the spray lance to
start spraying
4. Adjust the nozzle pattern as required
by rotating the nozzle in the appropriate
direction
5. Use a consistent speed or swath pattern
to ensure even coverage of the target, or
adjust the method of application according
to your target
Agitation
Agitation should take place when lling or
through another method as deemed suitable
by the operator.
Flushing
The following information is provided as a
general guide for ushing your sprayer after a
spray application
For more specic information regarding
ushing, and decontamination, specic
to the products that you are applying, it is
recommended that you consult the chemical
label or your chemical supplier.
1. Turn pump o
2. Add a quantity of fresh water to main tank
and then drain.
3. Add a quantity of fresh water, and
decontaminating agents if required, to
main tank.
4. Turn on pump, and spray fresh water
through the lance / gun. This will ensure
that fresh water has circulated through the
pump and lance.
5. Drain remaining contents of fresh water.
The sprayer is now ready for storage.
Storage
If the sprayer is to be stored for a long period
of time without use, there are several tasks
that need to be performed.
1. Clean the sprayer thoroughly as described
under “ushing”
2. Store the sprayer out of direct sunlight and
where it will not be aected by frosts
3. Ensure that the main tank is empty
4. Protect hoses and electrical connections
