Essential Risk Management - Safety
2
Working with Fans
Cooling fans for the engine and oil systems
simply move air to cool liquid.
It is vital all supplied guards remain in place
and are replaced if damaged or fatigued.
Be mindful the air inlet side is often the most
dangerous side because the suction created
by fans can quickly and unexpectedly pull in
hands, hair or objects such as loose clothing
or tools.
On the downwind side of a fan, the most
common danger is loose objects being
propelled at high speed.
22
Serious injury or death may occur if the
warnings below are not followed:
• Keep body parts and loose objects
away from rotating fans
• Never try to adjust or clean the fan
while it is engaged and operating
• Never allow untrained personnel
or children near the fans while in
operation
• Always ensure fans are stopped
completely before repairing, cleaning
or inspecting fans.
Boom Height Control System
If a boom height control system is fitted, keep
clear of the boom as it could potentially move
without notice.
Bogged Sprayer
The Goldacres mechanical drive system
delivers efficient, positive power to the ground
for superior traction.
If your sprayer becomes bogged and the
wheels subsequently locked, do not engage
first gear and maximise engine revs.
With the wheels 'locked' in a bog situation,
transmitting full power WILL DAMAGE the
driveline.
Goldacres stropngly recommends that
bogged sprayer's situations are addressed
prudently by using the assistance of a tow
vehicle.
Failure to heed this advice and doing
otherwise can cause significant driveline
damage and VOID WARRANTY.
Operating Tips
1 Before leaving the sprayer the engine must
be shut off, the transmission placed in
neutral and the park brake engaged.
2 Never engage the Park Brake while
the sprayer is moving. Damage to the
transmission may result.
3 When leaving the machine always isolate
the batteries by turning the isolator key off
and removing the key.
4 A supply of fresh water should be
maintained on the sprayer at all times.
5 Water tanks are not designed for use with
diesel fuel or any other flammable liquid.
6 Do not use this machine in ambient
temperatures exceeding 40 degrees
Celsius.
7 Ensure that all bolts are tightened and
secured before operation.
