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 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.
Custom Built Equipment
Where the owner of this sprayer has requested that
custom built equipment or options be fitted to this
sprayer it is necessary to understand that custom
fabrication and engineering is subject to many
variables. Goldacres cannot fully field test all custom
built options prior to despatch, and owners of new
sprayers fitted with custom built equipment or
options need to understand that the functionality of
these items may require refining in order to operate
as desired.
Suspension
The Crop Cruiser is fitted 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'.

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
filled with a liquid hand cleaner. The main tank can be
filled 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 filter is
installed to ensure operator safety.

'Cabin'.
