Preparing Sprayer For Use
Overhead Power Lines
Check any areas to be sprayed for overhead power
lines. If there are any in the area, contact the relevant
energy provider for information on safe use of
machinery near live lines.

Spray Calibration

Flow meter and spray nozzle calibration should be
checked regularly to ensure that correct application
rates are maintained. Refer to Chapter 6 'Calibration'
for procedures to check and alter calibration if
required.

Maintenance

Correct servicing and maintenance of the Goldacres
Super Cruiser Sprayer will ensure the efficient safe
operation of the sprayer. Servicing and maintenance
should be carried out according to the schedule in
Chapter 10 'Lubrication & Maintenance'.
During The First 8 Hours Of
Operation - Checks
Torque Settings
• Check the torque on retaining nuts frequently.
• The wheel nuts should be checked to ensure that
350 ft/lb is maintained.
Engine
• If the engine has been running, take extra care
around hot engine parts such as the exhaust.
• Check the engine oil level frequently. Due to
the "bedding in" of the engine components and
additional friction between connecting parts,
expect the oil usage to be higher than normal.
• Avoid excess engine idling.
• Inspect the air intake system and check for leaks.
Lubrication & Hydraulic Fluids
• Maintain correct hydraulic oil levels and monitor
the oil temperature on a regular basis.
