Safety Information
• When draining uids from the equipment use
appropriate, leak proof containers. Do not use food or beverage containers because someone
may consume the contents by mistake.
• Any unauthorised modications 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
specications 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 braking and
carrying capacity of the vehicle as specied 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 signicantly 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.
• Ensure that the maximum speed of the vehicle, when loaded, is within the vehicle manufacturer’s limitations.
• Ensure equipment is securely fastened or attached to vehicle at all times.
• Never stand within the radius of the boom wings.
• Never work under any hydraulically raised boom.
Cautions
• When leaving the sprayer always isolate the batteries by turning the isolator key off and removing it.
• A supply of fresh water should be with the equipment at all times.
• Water 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.
• Ensure that all bolts are tightened and secured before operation.
• Always ensure that the boom is securely suppor ted when travelling.
• 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 overll with oil or operate at speeds
exceeding 540 rpm.
• Do not exceed the maximum spraying pressure of
8 Bar.
Dangers
• Check area to be sprayed for overhead powerlines. Contact between the machine and powerlines
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 motion.
• Diesel engine exhaust fumes are harmful and can cause severe sickness or death. If it is necessary to run the engine in an enclosed area use an exhaust pipe extension. If an exhaust pipe extension is unavailable ensure that all doors are fully open and the room is well ventilated.
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)

Poisons Information Centres - Call 131 126 (AU)
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.
Crush Hazard
Never attempt to maintain axles, wheels or components within the vicinity of the wheels with the engine running.
Pinch Hazard
When operating moving components such as the boom, access ladder, bonnet or other components,
keep ngers and hands away from potential pinch
points.
Burn Hazard
• Avoid contact around the entire exhaust system of the sprayer when at operating temperature
• Avoid contact around the hydraulic tank and all hydraulic lines when at operating temperature
Entanglement Hazard
Rotating drives can cause serious injury or even death
when entanglement occurs. Keep hands, feet, hair and
clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury.
Never operate this machine with covers, shrouds, or guards removed.
Stored Energy Hazard
Even when the machine is not running, energy can be stored in components such as hydraulic accumulators, air tanks, tyres, A/C hoses, springs and boom cables. Hydraulically supported components such as the boom center are also a source of stored energy.
Before working on the machine, ensure that these
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.
Continued over page
Chapter 2 - Safety - 5G8 Super Cruiser Operator’s Manual MY19 - REV 0
Safety Information
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. Ination
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 ination of tyres. If the tyre is inated at a rapid rate separation
and/or explosion of the rim can occur. This event can
inict serious or fatal injuries to the operator.
Always use a tyre ination 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.
• Modication 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.
Continued over page
6 - Chapter 2 - Safety G8 Super Cruiser Operator’s Manual MY19 - REV 0
Safety Information
• The machine is tted with a reverse warning
beeper when the machine is put into reverse.
• 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 - Conned 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 identication 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 efcient,
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 signicant
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.

General
Chassis
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 dened 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 specic information on the Raven controller please
refer to Raven operator’s manual supplied and Chapter 6 ‘Calibration’ of this manual.

Chapter 3 - General Information & Specs - 9G8 Super Cruiser Operator’s Manual MY19 - REV 0
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
specic 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 sufcient for efcient 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 overll 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 efcient
application of chemical to your target.
Nozzles
As information regarding nozzles is specic to those being used in your application, no specic 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

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 efcient,
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 signicant
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 rening 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.
For further information on wheels and tyres please refer to Chapter 10 ‘Lubrication & Maintenance’.
