Delta Boom; General - Goldacres MY17-19 Operator's Manual

DELTA BOOM

General

All booms present a number of safety hazards due
to their operation - the operator should read and
fully understand the safety instructions in this manual
prior to operation.
Delta booms (12-24 m) have been designed and
built to ensure many years of trouble free service.
Aluminium outer boom sections reduce the overall
weight of the boom and aid in providing a superior
boom ride and longevity.

CAUTION: Goldacres do not endorse use of this
machine for spraying at speeds greater than 20 Km/
hr.
CAUTION: Before adjusting the boom alignment,
the hydraulic fold circuit must be free of air.
Hydraulic circuits that contain air can make the
boom appear that it is too far forward. Adjustment
of the boom without "bleeding" the hydraulic circuit
first will result in a boom that quickly reverts to
hanging out of alignment to the back.
CAUTION: All chemicals have corrosive properties
to some degree. Prevent damage to the machine
by always consulting the chemical MSDS or the
chemical supplier for advice concerning the corrosive
properties of the chemical. It is the responsibility
of the operator to carry out preventative and
ongoing maintenance to the machine, particularly
while applying chemicals with highly corrosive
properties. Machine components should be coated

Delta booms feature a unique (patented) boom
suspension system.
This system provides suspension in three directions:

PITCH Hydraulic cylinders connected to nitrogen
filled accumulators dampen the vertical
boom movement encountered over rough
ground conditions.
ROLL Shock absorbers help maintain constant
boom height over sloping and uneven
ground.
YAW Shock absorbers and springs overcome any
erratic whipping movement, which creates
undue stress on the boom frame and might
otherwise cause uneven spray application.
