The Operator
All operators of this equipment should be adequately
trained in the safe operation of this equipment. It
is important that all operators have read and fully
understand the operator’s 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.

structure incorporated into the frame of the cabin. To
minimize the risk of injury in the event of an accident,
the operator and anyone in the training seat must
wear seat belts at all times.
Passengers
The machine is equipped with one training seat with
a seatbelt. To minimize the risk of injury in the event
of an accident, the operator and anyone in the training
seat must wear seat belts at all times.
Any further passengers will not be protected by the
roll-over protection system and must be kept off the

Warnings
• 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 damaged or missing decals on the
equipment and that any damaged or missing decals
are replaced prior to operation.
• Goldacres equipment either 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.
• Inspect the equipment thoroughly for damage and
wear before operation.
• 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.
• Goldacres equipment uses several materials
that may be harmful to the environment.
Potentially harmful waste used with Goldacres
equipment includes such items as oil, fuel, coolant
and batteries. If these items are disposed of
incorrectly the waste can threaten the surrounding
environment and ecology. The waste products
can leech into surrounding water sources and
contaminate the area.
• 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

may consume the contents by mistake.
• Any unauthorised modications to this equipment
may affect its function and create a serious safety
risk.
• Keep clear of overhead obstructions – especially
power lines as contact can be fatal.
• 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

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 braking and
carrying capacity of the vehicle as specied by the
vehicle manufacturer.
NOTE: 1 Litre water = 1 Kg.
• Water weighs 1kg per litre, however conversion
factors must be used when spraying liquids
that are heavier or lighter than water. Example:
liquid nitrogen has a density of 1.28 kg/L and will
therefore be signicantly heavier than water if the
tank is lled completely. The total weight of a tank
full of chemical, should not exceed that of a full
tank of water. Machine damage can result if the
machine is over weight. See lling instructions in
Chapter 8 ‘Operation’ for more information.
• Suitable care should be taken when driving 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.

can result in serious injury or death. If there are
powerlines in the spray area, exercise extreme
caution when tilting boom wings.
• Do NOT walk on machine platform when near
power lines.
• NEVER start the engine when standing on the
ground. Only star t the engine from the operator’s
seat, with the transmission in neutral. Possible injury
or death can occur by starting the machine through
other methods.
• Never exit the cabin while the machine is in

parts are relieved of their energy in a safe manner.
Overhead Hazard
BOOM LIFT OR TILT AND RADIO ANTENNA
COULD STRIKE POWER LINES. Keep clear of
overhead obstructions – especially power lines as
contact can be fatal.
Do NOT walk on machine platform when near
power lines.
Airborne Particles
• Always stand well clear of equipment during
operation.
• Any spray drift is dangerous and may be hazardous
to humans and other animals.
• When heating and welding components, ensure
that all paint and other such materials are removed.
Often hazardous airborne particles and fumes are
generated from welding and heating.
Fluids Under Pressure
Fluids escaping from high pressure lines can cause
serious injury to skin. Hydraulic oil can easily penetrate
human skin. This hazard can be avoided by relieving
the pressure in the system.
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.
Be mindful of the location of pressurised lines in the
vicinity of the work area when using equipment such
as grinders, oxy torches and welders. The two main
risks are that this equipment may easily cut through
the lines or the local heat generated near the lines
may cause them to rupture.
Ensure that all ttings and lines are fully/tightly secured
before re-pressurizing after repairs.
Boom Height Control System
If boom height control system is tted, keep clear of
the boom as it could potentially move without notice.
Cooling System
• At operating temperature the uids in the cooling
system are under pressure. Only remove the
radiator cap when the engine is turned off and has
cooled down.
• Loosen the radiator cap slowly to relieve the
pressure before removing the cap completely.
• Coolant can be added when the engine is cool and
turned off.
Batteries
The machine is supplied with sealed, non-ser viceable
batteries. The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid;
this is a highly dangerous liquid and should be handled
with the greatest degree of care.
The acid can cause blindness, burn skin and dissolve
clothing. Batteries also produce ammable hydrogen
gas (especially when charging), so keep them
separated from any sources of sparks and ames.
A vigilant operator can avoid these hazards by:
1. Wearing the correct personal protective
equipment.
2. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
3. Place into a plastic collection tray ready for disposal
if the case is found to be damaged.
EMERGENCY MEASURES
• If the electrolyte gets in your eyes, ush your eyes
with clean water for at least 15 minutes, then get
immediate medical assistance.
• Also thoroughly wash all other affected areas on
your body with water and remove all clothing.
• If you swallow any electrolyte seek medical
attention immediately.
Lifting Machine
Before raising the machine off the ground:
Ensure that the boom is in its closed position.
Park on a at level, rm area and engage the park
brake.
Empty the spray tank where possible.
Chock all wheels that remain on the ground.
Securely lift the machine using a jack and support
the machine on work stands.
Do not work under the machine when supported
solely by a jack.
Do not support the sprayer using materials that
may crumble.
Changing Wheels & Tyres
An experienced person with the correct equipment
should mount the wheels on the sprayer.
When changing a wheel on the sprayer ensure that
the sprayer is on rm level ground and the wheels are
chocked.
Tyre Maintenance
Maintain correct tyre pressure at all times. Ination
of tyres above or below the recommended pressure
exerts additional pressure on the tyre, which may
result in tyre damage.
Extreme caution is required during the ination of
tyres. If the tyre is inated at a rapid rate separation
and/or explosion of the rim can occur. This event can
inict serious or fatal injuries to the operator.
Always use a tyre ination gauge.
Be proactive and continually check the condition of
your tyres.
Do not weld, heat or modify the rim.
Machine Operation
• High speed turning places severe stresses on
the wheels and axles and should be avoided. It
is essential to observe the effects of turning on
the open spray boom. Excessive turning speeds
transmit great stresses to the spray boom and
WILL CAUSE boom damage.
• Modication of the machine to increase maximum
speed is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. This machine
is designed for a maximum speed of 50 km/h.
This speed must only be used on suitable terrain
conditions. All components i.e. tyres, brakes,
suspension, steering and chassis are designed and
built to this maximum speed.
• MAXIMUM SPEED WHEN CORNERING,
TURNING AT AN ANGLE GREATER THAN
45º OR DRIVING ON A SLOPE OR UNEVEN
TERRAIN IS 5KM/H. When tted with narrow
wheel track and with high centre of gravity, the
self-propelled sprayer may become unstable when
turning at excessive speed or when operating on
excessively steep terrain.
• Before leaving the sprayer the engine must be
shut off, the transmission placed in neutral and
the park brake engaged. NEVER ENGAGE THE
PARK BRAKE WHILE THE SPRAYER IS MOVING.
DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION MAY RESULT.
Refuelling
• Handle fuel with extreme caution. Do not refuel
the machine while smoking or near open ames or
sparks.
• Always stop the engine before refueling the
machine.
• To prevent res always keep the machine clean of
grease, debris and dirt.
• Do not use current emitting devices when refuelling.
Collision Prevention & Warning
Lights
• Before operating the machine check with the
relevant road management authorities for
information regarding safe and legal transport on
public roads in the state where the machine is
being operated.
• To assist in the prevention of collisions with other
road users the Goldacres sprayers are tted with
warning lights and signs in accordance with national
road regulations.
• The machine can only be driven on public roads
during daylight hours.
• Keep lighting and signs in good order and replace
any damaged or faulty xtures.
Working at Heights
Please contact your local government on the
restrictions and safety requirements needed to
operate at heights.
• There is a risk a falling if a person has “climbed”
onto the machine.
• Do not “climb” on machine to get access.
• Use ladder or work platform to get access
to parts or areas of the machine above local
government restrictions.
Slippery Surfaces
• The surface of the platform has raised portions
to stop slipping.
• The platform surface needs to be kept clean of
mud and other material to help stop slipping.
Main Tank
• Danger - Conned space do not enter.
• Do not enter the tank for any purpose.
Safe Chemical Usage
The safe use of Agricultural (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.
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 impor tant to ensure that all new machine
components and replacement parts include current
hazard identication decals.
Replacement safety decals can be ordered from your
Goldacres dealer. Part numbers and descriptions of
the decals on this machine can be found in the parts
manual supplied.
First Aid Kit
It is recommended that a rst aid kit be added to
your machine.
Fire Extinguisher
A re extinguisher is tted under the training seat in
the cabin of your machine.
It is a dry chemical ABE type re extinguisher
approved for wood, paper, ammable liquid and live
electrical equipment res.
Machine Recovery
• The mechanical drive system delivers efcient,
positive power to the ground for superior traction.
However, should your machine become bogged
and the wheels subsequently locked, do not engage
rst gear and maximise engine revs.
With the wheel ‘locked’ in a bog situation,
transmitting full power WILL DAMAGE the
driveline.
• Goldacres recommends that bog situations are
addressed prudently by using the assistance of a
tow vehicle. Doing otherwise can cause signicant
driveline damage and VOID WARRANTY.
Towing & Transporting Sprayer
• A disabled sprayer is best transported on a drop
deck trailer. Use chains to secure the sprayer via
the tie down attachment point located under the
front and rear axles.
• The machine must not be towed unless the engine
is running (as the steering and brakes require
engine power to operate). Before towing, the front
& rear tail shaft should be disconnected due to the
risk of damage to the transmission. While towing
do not travel at a speed greater than 10 Km/h.
• An operator must steer and brake the sprayer
under tow.
• The park brake needs to be manually released if
engine is not able to run.
• Check the wheel nut tension on a regular basis. The
torque and inspection frequency is outlined in the
maintenance section.
• Brake performance should be checked regularly.
The inspection frequency is outlined in the
maintenance section.
The chassis is an all steel construction, that is fully
welded for superior strength. The chassis is grit
blasted, primed and then protected by the Goldacres
paint process for excellent chemical resistance and
durability.
Paint Codes
Wheels: N23 Neutral Grey
Steel work: G13 Dark Green
Steel work: N61 Black
Australian Standards AS2700
Tank
All tanks are constructed from UV resistant
polyethylene. Polyethylene tanks have a very high
chemical resistance. Due to the rotational moulding
process, there can be variance in the overall
dimensions of the tank which in turn results in
5-10% variation in the tank capacity. For this reason,
calibration markings should be used as a guide only.
Cabin
The cabin features panoramic views surrounding
the sprayer and is customised to suit spraying
applications. The rate controller and all key spraying
functions are within easy reach of the operator
Further information on the cabin can be found in
Chapter 4 ‘Cabin’.
Agitation
The Supermix agitator is located at the back of the
tank and is used to generate increased agitation
within the tank. The pressure line to the Supermix
agitator from the control manifold passes through a
nozzle and then through the barrel into the tank. This
causes extra agitation as ow around the agitator is
sucked into the barrel and is then passed back into
the tank. To increase this venturi effect, the bypass
ow from the electric regulating valve also passes
through the barrel, multiplying the agitation effect.
The Supermix agitator has an approximate capacity
of 300 - 1300 L/min depending of the pump size and
operating pressure. For further information refer to
Chapter 10 ‘Lubrication & Maintenance’.
Rate Controller
These sprayers are tted with a Raven Rate Control
Module (RCM). This is an automatic rate controller
that will maintain a user dened application rate
automatically as the vehicle speed changes. In order
to function, the automatic rate controller relies on
a ow meter, speed sensor and control valve. For
specic information on the Raven controller please
refer to Raven operator’s manual supplied and
Chapter 6 ‘Calibration’ of this manual.

General
Boom Nozzle Control
Nozzle control is achieved using the Rapid Fire with
Rapid Flow system tted as standard equipment.
Electrically activated air-solenoids control individual
boom nozzles and boom section on/off functions.
The nozzles have a standard spacing of 500 mm, but
250 mm distances can also be optioned.
3 Tier System (3TS)
The 3 Tier System (3TS) aims to give a wider
range of exibility around application rate and
spraying speed. The 3TS effectively gives the driver
a much wider operating band whilst still maintaining
optimum droplet size.
The 3TS can be thought of as a three step gearbox,
or in the case of the 3TS Pro, a seven step gearbox.
Each nozzle type has an operating pressure band for
a given droplet size. As the rst nozzle set, or tier,
reaches the top of its pressure band, the next larger
size nozzle tier is activated.
When the second tier reaches the top of its
pressure band, the rst tier will be reactivated to
spray at the same time. This effectively gives three
operating bands.
The 3TS Pro option is an extension of this idea
using three different nozzle sizes and gives seven
effective bands of operation for even greater
application control. It requires an unlock code for the
Raven RCM which is provided when the feature is
optioned.
The Raven RCM controls the 3TS system. For
specic calibration and operating instructions, see
Raven RCM operation manual supplied.
Filtration
Filtration is a critical par t of the sprayer’s
performance.
As standard, these sprayers are tted with:
1 x Suction lter (32 mesh)
2 x Pressure lters (1 x 80 & 1 x 100 mesh)
Nozzle strainers (50 mesh)
Spray Pump
A centrifugal 400 L/min at 8 Bar spray pump is tted
as standard. Positive displacement and oil backed
diaphragm pumps capable of 260 L/min can also
be tted optionally. The normal operating range is
from 1 - 8 bar which is sufcient for efcient nozzle
performance.
• The maximum combined ow of all boom
sections is limited to 140 litres per minute, or 50%
of the pump ow, whichever is the lesser amount
with clean lters.
• Standard centrifugal spray pump: Running the
pump dry will cause failure. Care should be not to
operate at speeds exceeding 4200 rpm.
• Optional diaphragm spray pump: Care should
be taken to never overll with oil or operate at
speeds exceeding 540 rpm.
• Do not exceed the maximum spraying pressure
of 8 Bar.
Chemical Induction
The method of chemical induction into your sprayer
is dependent on the optional chemical induction
equipment tted to your sprayer.
Goldacres chemical induction equipment available
includes:
• Chemical Probe
• Chemical Induction Hopper
• 12 V Chemical Transfer Pumps
Booms
This machine can be tted with a variety of boom
widths ranging from 36 to 48 metres. They feature
hydraulic lift, fold and individual wing tilt controllable
from the cabin. Goldacres TriTech booms feature
pitch, roll and yaw suspension in order to provide
a superior boom ride and assist in the efcient
application of chemical to your target.
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 TeeJet or Lechler nozzle selection catalogue
for reference to nozzle sizes, outputs, spray patterns
and general spraying information. For more technical
information on the function of spray nozzles and
factors affecting their performance you can also use
the TeeJet ‘User’s guide to spray nozzles’.
The TeeJet & Lechler nozzle selection catalogue and
Users guides to spray nozzles are available from your
Goldacres dealer, or as a free download from the
TeeJet web site: www.teejet.com

General
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.
Goldacres do not endorse use of this machine for
spraying at speeds greater than 20 km/hr and should
not be used in ambient temperatures exceeding 40
degrees Celsius or below 5 degrees Celsius.
Do not travel at excessive speeds over rough terrain.
The superior ride characteristics of this machine can
disguise the impact of rough terrain on the driveline
and suspension system of the machine. Stop the
machine and inspect for damage after impact with
gutters, sinkholes, rocks etc.
Violent speed change WILL CAUSE boom damage.
The high power to weight ratio and braking
capacity (especially when empty) enables very high
acceleration and decelerations of the machine. It is
important during accelerating and braking that the
effect on the spray boom in the open position is
taken into account.
The mechanical drive system delivers efcient,
positive power to the ground for superior traction.
However, should your machine become bogged and
the wheels subsequently locked, do not engage rst
gear and maximise engine revs.
With the wheel ‘locked’ in a bog situation,
transmitting full power WILL DAMAGE the driveline.
Goldacres recommends that bog situations are
addressed prudently by using the assistance of a
tow vehicle. Doing otherwise can cause signicant
driveline damage and VOID WARRANTY.
Hydraulics
Electric over hydraulic valves are standard on these
machines. The hydraulic functions are then controlled
from electric switches in the cabin. The valve block
is mounted on the boom centre section which is
located at the rear of the sprayer.
Hand Wash Tank
A fresh water hand wash tank is located on the left
hand side of the machine under the left hand access
ladder. It has a bottle with a hand pump that can be
lled with a liquid hand cleaner. The main tank can be
lled with fresh water for operator use.
Ladder
The Ladder is to be used to access to the platform
and cabin by the operator. Always face the ladder
and retain three points of contact with the ladder
at all times when ascending and descending. The
ladder is only lifted to the raised position when
the key is turned on and the handbrake is released.
The operator must take care when operating the
handbrake to ensure that no person is standing on
or near the ladder at the time. In an emergency, the
ladder can be lowered by either applying the park
brake or turning off the ignition, or removing the air
supply hose from the air cylinder.
Air Conditioning
The cabin is climate controlled and a carbon lter is
installed to ensure operator safety.
Further information can be found in Chapter 4
‘Cabin’.
Custom Built Equipment
Where the owner of this sprayer has requested that
custom built equipment or options be tted to this
sprayer it is necessary to understand that custom
fabrication and engineering is subject to many
variables. Goldacres cannot fully eld test all custom
built options prior to despatch, and owners of new
sprayers tted with custom built equipment or
options need to understand that the functionality of
these items may require rening in order to operate
as desired.
Suspension
The machine is tted with 5 link airbag axle
suspension to provide excellent ride and comfort.
Further information on the suspension can be found
in Chapter 10 ‘Lubrication & Maintenance’.

Wheels & Tyres
Tyre pressures need to be checked regularly - check
every 8 to 12 hours of operation.
There are many factors concerning the appropriate
tyre pressure for a particular tyre and load. For
example, the tyre size, rim type, tyre status (driven
or free rolling), load, speed, haul length and ply rating
all need to be considered when determining the tyre
pressure.
NOTE: PSI = Kpa x 0.145
EXAMPLE: 240 Kpa x 0.145 = 34.8 PSI
NOTE: If a tyre is replaced with a different brand
or size, please contact the supplier for correct air
pressures to suit the load carrying capacity of this
machine.
