Check Boom Settings
The G6 Crop Cruiser Series 2 can be fitted
with 36, 42 & 48 metre boom widths.
Each boom features hydraulic lift, fold and
individual wing tilt controlled from the cabin,
as well as pitch, roll and yaw suspension for
superior boom ride & efficient, targeted spray
application.
Wing tips are fitted with spring loaded
breakaway ends to prevent damage when
striking objects.
Prior to deliver each boom is pre-set and
tested for spraying application.
However, it is recommended that the boom
settings checked and tested for the accuracy
prior to spraying application.
It is the operator's responsibility to correctly
operate all sprayer functions at all times.

Pitch
Goldacres' TriTech booms feature a unique three directional suspension system.
Boom Centre Section
The TriTech boom centre section comprises
two components - a Paralift rear and a boom
centre section held together by delta links.
The delta links allow the boom to provide roll
and yaw suspension.
Roll suspension is when the boom pitches up
and down at the tips. Yaw suspension is when
the boom moves fore and aft at the tips.
If the boom did not feature yaw suspension
there would be excessive stresses exerted on
the boom and centre section when cornering
or corrections of line are made.
The yaw suspension allows the chassis of the
machine to move left and right without any
movement being transferred to the boom.
The Paralift rear can move with the machine
while the boom centre section can remain
static or level as it rotates around the delta
links connecting it to the Paralift rear.
Setting Up – Preparation for Use
Yaw
Goldacres unique TriTech boom suspension
system provides three directional suspension:
• Pitch Suspension
Vertical boom movement & forces
encountered over rough ground
conditions are dampended using
hydraulic cylinders connected to a
nitrogen filled accumulator.
• Roll Suspension
Constant boom height over sloping
and uneven ground is maintained with
the use of shock absorbers
• Yaw Suspension
Any erratic whipping movement (fore
& aft) of the boom is mimimised using
hydraulic cylinders connected to
nitrogen filled accumulators. Whipping
of a boom can create undue stress
on the boom frame and uneven spray
application.
Refer to Chapter 7 'Boom Settings' for
further information & any necessary boom
adjustments.
