Safety
General
The following pages outline important
safety information. At Goldacres safety is
a high priority. These safety and warning
instructions MUST be followed to ensure the
safe operation of your Goldacres equipment.
Explanation of key terms used in this
operator’s manual are:
DANGER - You will be killed or seriously hurt
if you don’t follow instructions
WARNING - You can be seriously hurt if you
don’t follow instructions
CAUTION - You can be hurt if you don’t
follow instructions
NOTE - Is used to notify people of
installation, operation or maintenance
information that is important but not hazard
related.
The Operator
All operators of this equipment should be
adequately trained in the safe operation
of this equipment. It is important that all
operator’s have read and fully understand
the operators manual prior to using this
equipment.
All new operators should be trained in an
area without bystanders or obstructions and
become familiar with the sprayer prior to
operation.
Safety Precautions
WARNINGS
• Keep clear of overhead obstructions.
• Any unauthorised modications to this
equipment may affect its function and
create a serious safety risk.
• Never attempt to clean parts or nozzles,
by blowing with mouth.
• Never attempt to siphon chemicals, or
substances, by sucking.
NOTE: 1 LITRE WATER = 1KG.
• Water weighs 1kg per litre, however
conversion factors must be used when
spraying liquids that are heavier or lighter
than water. Example: liquid urea has a
density of 1.28 kg/L and will therefore be
signicantly heavier than water if the tank
is lled completely.
• Regularly check the pump mounting
bolts. The pump will always vibrate to
some degree when operating, and this
may work the bolts loose.
CAUTIONS
• A supply of fresh water should be with
the equipment at all times.
• Standard polyethylene tanks are not
designed for use with diesel fuel or any
ammable liquid.
• Do not use this machine in ambient
temperatures exceeding 40 degrees
Celsius.
• Ensure that all bolts are tightened and
secured before operation.
• Area surrounding equipment may
become slippery when wet.
NOTES
• Always read and understand the
operator’s manual prior to operation of
this equipment.
• It is the responsibility of the operator
to ensure that there are no decals
missing from the equipment and that any
damaged or missing decals are replaced
prior to operation.
• Goldacres equipment ordered or
operated, outside the guideline
limitations may not be warranted by
Goldacres for successful performance.
Operators working outside these
limitations do so at their own risk, unless
specic advice has been sought from
and provided by Goldacres in writing.
• Always read and follow the chemical
manufacturer’s guidelines for safe
application as per the chemical label.
Particular attention should be given to
the recommended target application rate
of the chemical being applied as per the
chemical label.
• Inspect the equipment thoroughly for
damage and wear before operation.
• Flush chemicals from equipment
immediately after use.

• Certain chemicals may be unsuitable for
use with Goldacres standard plumbing
designs. Consult your Goldacres dealer if
in doubt.
• Do not operate the equipment while
under the inuence of any drugs, alcohol
or if excessively tired.
• Make sure that the equipment complies
with all relevant road regulations when
transporting.
• When draining uids from the equipment
use appropriate, leak proof containers.
Do not use food or beverage containers
as someone may consume the contents
by mistake.
• After reading the operator’s manual
if there is any thing that you do not
understand please contact your
Goldacres dealer.
Safe Chemical Use
The safe use of Ag chemicals with this
equipment is the responsibility of the owner/
operators. All operators should be trained
in the safe use of Ag chemicals. Goldacres
suggest that a relevant course is completed
by owners/operators prior to operation of
this equipment as a spray unit.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Always wear close tting clothing and safety
equipment designed for the job.
Chemicals can be harmful to humans,
appropriate PPE should be used when
handling chemicals.
Always refer to the chemical manufacturers
label for guidelines on the appropriate PPE
to use with the chemicals you are using.
Goldacres also suggest that you read
and understand the following Australian
standards:
• Australian Standard for Chemical
protective clothing AS3765
• Australian Standard for Respiratory
protection devices AS1715
Airborne particles
Always stand well clear of equipment during
operation. Any spray drift is dangerous and
may be hazardous to humans and animals.
Fluids under pressure
Do not disconnect any hoses, nozzles
or lters while equipment is operating.
Disconnecting these components while
under pressure may result in uncontrolled
uid discharge which may be hazardous.
When the repair is complete ensure that
all ttings and lines are secured before re-
applying pressure.
Cuts, Stabs & Punctures
When Servicing machine, be mindful of sharp
edges on parts such as trimmed cable ties,
hose clamps, cut reinforced hose and the
edges of plates and brackets as they could
cause cut, stab or puncture injuries.

6
Safety Decals
Understanding safety decals and their
purpose assists in the safe operation of your
sprayer. Safety decals are there for your
protection and it is the responsibility of the
owner operator to replace damaged and/or
missing safety decals.
Regularly review safety decals with
operators. It is very important to ensure
that all new machine components and
replacement parts include current hazard
identication decals.
Replacement safety decals can be ordered
from all Goldacres dealers.

General Information &
Specications
The Squirt is a compact portable sprayer
designed for spot spraying with a 30L tank
and adjustable spray lance. The tank, pump
and lance are corrosion resistant and are
suitable for the application of a wide range of
pesticides.
Know Your Sprayer
Getting to know your sprayer prior to
operation is crucial in the safe and ecient
operation of this equipment. Take the time to
familiarise yourself with the components tted
to your sprayer. You need to know where key
components are located on your machine and
become competent in the correct operation of
these components prior to spraying operation.
It is also important to become familiar with
common spraying methods and common
spraying terms prior to using this sprayer for
the rst time.
Tank
All tanks are constructed from UV resistant
polyethylene. Polyethylene tanks have a very
high chemical resistance.
Due to the moulding process, there can be a
variance in the overall dimensions of the tank
which in turn results in variations to the tank
capacity. For this reason, calibration markings
should be used as a guide only.
Pump
The pump runs on a rechargeable 12 volt
battery pack.
The pump is critical to any sprayer
performance. Correct operation and
maintenance of the pump will ensure the
sprayer is able to perform to its capabilities.
Make sure the pump wires are connected up
to the correct terminals (red to positive, black
to negative) if replacing battery.
Always ush pump with clean water after every
use. Prolonged chemical contact can severely
damage valves, diaphragms and seals.
Do not leave water in pump if sprayer is to
be left in a cold environment. The water may
freeze and cause damage to pump. Empty
pump of all water and cover the pump to
ensure this situation does not arise. If this has
not been done, and there is a possibility there
may be frozen water in the pump, wait until
any ice has thawed before using the pump.
The 12 volt pumps are positive displacement
diaphragm pumps which provide delivery upon
demand.
They are self-priming and some models are
tted with a pressure switch which senses
the outlet pressure of the pump. The pressure
switch turns the electrical power o to the
pump at a pre-determined high pressure point.
As the outlet side of the pump is opened,
the pressure starts to drop and at a pre-
determined point contacts in the switch will
close causing the pump to start automatically.
The pump will then pump until the pressure
reaches the shut-o pressure point.
Machine limitations
All Goldacres equipment is subject to
operating limitations, it is the operator’s
responsibility to ensure that this equipment
is being operated within these limitations and
appropriately to the operating conditions at
hand.

Battery
IMPORTANT: Just like a mobile phone, this
unit requires frequent charging and should not
be allowed to get too at. Failure to charge
the battery will result in early failure. Allow
12 hours charging following a day’s use.
IMPORTANT: The battery charger will not
recognise that there is a battery to charge if
the battery is allowed to get too at.
Battery Charging

240V/50Hz power point.
4. Connect the male plug of the charger to the
female recharge socket on rear panel.
5. See the key to understand the LED light
conditions on the charger.
6. Once fully charged, it is possible to conrm
the battery condition by switching the
power switch ON and OFF again and
checking that the volt meter needle moves
to the red or green zone. Charge for longer
if the meter stays in the yellow zone when
doing this test.
7. Make sure the power switch is set to OFF
and disconnect the charger.
8. Follow the 'Spray Application' instructions
to begin spraying.
Battery Replacement
The following steps should be followed:
1. Ensure that the battery is 12V DC and

section.
6. Switch pump ON using ‘On/O’ switch.
The pump will run until sucient pressure
is achieved and then the pump will stop.
7. Use the lance by depressing the trigger.
The pump will then automatically maintain
the correct pressure and ow depending
on nozzle adjustment.
8. Adjust the nozzle pattern as required
by rotating the nozzle in the appropriate
direction as required.
9. Use a consistent speed or swath pattern
to ensure even coverage of the target, or
adjust the method of application according
to your target.
NOTE: Ensure that the pump is switched to
OFF when no longer required.
Calibration
All sprayers need to be calibrated and kept
in good condition. This will ensure that the
correct rate of chemical is applied to the
target.
Follow these steps to calibrate the sprayer:
1. Measure the spray width of the nozzle on a
dry surface (in metres).
2. Spray a test area at the intended pressure
and speed. Record distance (in metres)
covered in one minute (minute).
3. Measure the nozzle output in litres over
one minute in a measuring jug (l/min).
The spray volume can be calculated by the
following formula:
Application Nozzle output (l/min) x 10,000
rate (L/Ha) =Spray width (m) x speed (m/min)

Flushing
Always ush pump with clean water after every
use. Prolonged chemical contact can severely
damage valves, diaphragms and seals.
For more specic information regarding
ushing, and decontamination, specic
to the products that you are applying, it is
recommended that you consult the chemical
label or your chemical supplier.
1. Turn pump o
2. Disconnect tting in base of unit that runs
to the pump and drain main tank.
3. Add a quantity of fresh water to main tank
and allow to drain through the bottom.
4. Replace pump line tting and add quantity
of fresh water and also decontaminating
agents if required to tank.
5. Turn on pump, and spray liquid through
the lance to ensure circulation through all
components.
6. Drain remaining contents of liquid, rinse
with fresh water and replace tank drain
plug. The sprayer is now ready for storage.
Storage
If the sprayer is to be stored for a long period
of time without use, there are several tasks
that need to be performed.
1. Clean the sprayer thoroughly as described
under “ushing”
2. Store the sprayer out of direct sunlight and
where it will not be aected by frosts
3. Ensure that the main tank is empty
4. Protect hoses and electrical connections
Pump Operation
The 12 volt pumps are positive displacement
diaphragm pumps which provide delivery
upon demand. They are self-priming and are
tted with a pressure switch which senses
the outlet pressure of the pump. The pressure
switch turns the electrical power o to the
pump at a pre-determined high pressure point.
As the outlet side of the pump is opened,
the pressure starts to drop and at a pre-
determined point contacts in the switch will
close causing the pump to start automatically.
The pump will then pump until the pressure
reaches the shut-o pressure point.
CAUTION: Do not adjust the pressure switch
such that the pumping pressure exceeds the
maximum pressure for the pump.
NOTE: If the ow demand is very low, the
pump may reach this high pressure point
and cause “cycling” (pump turns on and o
rapidly). This is not a problem unless the pump
is subject to continuous cycling within two
second intervals for long periods of time.

Pump Troubleshooting
Pump Will Not Start Check:
• Fuse or breaker
• For correct voltage (±10%) and electrical
connections
• Pressure switch operation and correct
voltage at switch or motor wires (as
equipped).
• Rectier or motor for open or grounded
circuit
Drive assembly locked
Will Not Prime Check:
(No discharge/motor runs)
• Out of product
• Strainer for debris
• Inlet tubing/plumbing; severe vacuum leak
• Inlet/Outlet tube severely restricted
(kinked)
• Debris in pump inlet/outlet valves
• Proper voltage with the pump operating
(±10%)
• Pump housing for cracks
Leaks From Pump Head Or Switch:
• For loose screws at switch or pump head.
• Switch diaphragm ruptured or pinched
• For punctured diaphragm if uid is
present at bottom drain holes.
Pump Will Not Shut-O Check:
(Pressure switch equip.)
• Output line closed and no leaks
• For air trapped in outlet line or pump head
• For correct voltage to pump (±10%)
• Inlet/Outlet valves for debris or swelling
• For loose drive assembly or pump head
screws
• Pressure switch operation/adjustment
incorrect. Refer to relevant pump manual
for dierential and pressure adjustment
procedure.
Noisy / Rough Operation Check:
• Mounting feet that are compressed to
tight
• For loose pump head or drive screws
• Does the mounting surface multiply noise
(exible)
• Is the pump plumbed with rigid pipe
causing noise to transmit
