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.
• Check the transmission oil level and ensure that
grease points are lubricated effectively. Crush

to ensure that they have not become loose.
Pump Mounting Bolts
• The pump mounting bolts should be checked to
ensure that they are not loose.
Suspension Bolts

at each end of the parallel links and at each end
of the pan hard rods and sway bars. These bolts
should be checked to ensure that they have not
become loose.
Lights
• Check each light around the vehicle for correct
operation.

lines. If there are any in the area, contact the relevant
energy provider for information on safe use of
