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 important to ensure that all new machine
components and replacement parts include current
hazard identification 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 first aid kit be added to
your machine.
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is fitted under the training seat in
the cabin of your machine.
It is a dry chemical ABE type fire extinguisher
approved for wood, paper, flammable liquid and live
electrical equipment fires.
Machine Recovery
• The mechanical drive system delivers efficient,
positive power to the ground for superior traction.
However, should your machine become bogged
and the wheels subsequently locked, do not engage
first 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 significant
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.
