Goldacres G6 Crop Cruiser 2 Series Operator's Manual page 17

Batteries
The sprayer is supplied with sealed, non-
serviceable batteries.
The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid
which is an highly dangerous liquid. Batteries
therefore should be handled with the greatest
degree of care. Sulfuric acid can cause
blindness, burn skin and dissolve clothing.
Batteries also produce flammable hydrogen
gas (especially when charging), so keep them
separated from any sources of sparks & flames.
An operator can avoid these hazards by:
• Wearing the correct personal
protective equipment
• Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte
• Place the battery into a plastic
collection tray ready for disposal if its
case is found to be damaged.
Emergency Procedure
If an electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes,
then get immediate medical assistance.
GA8701177 REV 2 APRIL 2022
Also thoroughly wash all other affected areas
on your body with water & remove all clothing.
If you swallow any electrolyte seek medical
attention immediately.
Lifting a Sprayer
Before raising a sprayer off the ground:
• Ensure that the boom is in its closed
position.
• Park on a flat level, firm area and
engage the park brake.
• Empty the spray tank where possible.
• Chock all wheels that remain on the
ground.
• Securely lift the sprayer 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 machine using
materials that may crumble.
Safety – Essential Risk Management
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
the machine is on firm level ground and the
wheels are chocked.
Tyre Maintenance
Maintain correct tyre pressure at all times.
Inflation 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 inflation
of tyres. Rapid inflation of a tyre may cause
separation and/or explosion of the rim. Such
an event can inflict serious or fatal injuries to
the operator of close bystanders.
Always use a tyre inflation gauge.
Be pro-active and continually check the
condition of your tyres during operations.
Do not weld, heat or modify a tyre rim.
Never get underneath a suspended machine or suspended
part of a machine.
Working Heights above Ground
Please contact your local government on the
restrictions and safety requirements needed to
operate at various heights above the ground.
Do not climb on machine to get access. There
is a risk a falling if a person has climbed onto
the machine.
Use ladder or work platform to get access
to parts or areas of the machine above local
government restrictions.
Working On or Underneath the
Sprayer
When working on or underneath a sprayer,
always take measures to make sure that the
sprayer cannot move.
Never get underneath a suspended machine
or suspended part of a machine.
If you must work under the machine ensure
the machine or machine part is solidly
supported.
