Page 11: Required Maintenance
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE Prevention of mechanical failure is the goal of any good maintenance schedule. Severe service uses such as liquid manure application, municipal and industrial uses, custom slurry ap- plications, etc. require timely, trouble free operation of your equipment. The secret to preventing unwanted down time is to adhere to a maintenance schedule suited to the way you use the equipment. -

They can usually help you determine an application program that prevents soil nutrient overload due to excess application. Cadman Power Equipment Limited cannot possibly provide up-to-date recommendations with regard to the legal obligations you must deal with in your particular area. However, as a manufacturer of equipment used in nutrient application (liquid manure, milk house run-off, etc.), we feel it necessary to make you aware that the... -
Page 15: Field Set-Up And Operation
Low pressure operation can cause indexing problems. The hose indexing sys- tem of your Cadman traveller is set up to properly index the polyethylene hose onto the hose drum under most operating conditions. However, when operating at very low in- let pressures (110 PSI or less), the PE hose can flatten slightly causing the indexing system to appear to be either out of adjustment or not functioning properly. - Page 17 Adjust the tongue jack for a level frame position during operation. Release the turntable lock and rotate the upper frame to the desired operating position and re-engage the turntable lock. WRONG CAUTION The upper frame position MUST allow the hose to be pulled out straight from RIGHT the machine.
- Page 18 Adjust the brake handle position so that a slight amount of brake tension is applied. This tension should be enough to control the hose drum and prevent loosening of the hose on the drum when the tractor stops pulling the hose. Set the track width of the gun cart as wide as possible.

Page 19: Start Up Of The Retrieve Cycle
Insure that the hose coils are stacked tightly together. WARNING Never leave the hand crank on the driveshaft. REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY after use. 15 Adjust the brake handle to the full “ON” position after insuring that the hose is tight. 16 GRADUAL pressurization of the system may now begin. - Page 20 STOP • To check the shut off switches, lift the shut off bar to a vertical position, while manually holding one (1) of the two (2) switches in the depressed position. The engine should shut off as the op- posite switch releases. Re-start the engine and repeat the test for the opposite switch.

Page 21: Retrieve Rate Selection
During the hose retrieve cycle, the compensator THIRD POSITION frame rests against the hose on the drum. As each layer of hose is rewound, the compensator frame moves outward with the hose. This movement causes the pulley cam to rotate a measured amount, allowing the pulley to open slightly. -
Page 22: Example
NOTE: The speedometer reads actual hose speed ONLY on the base (1st) layer of hose. If the retrieve rate is set or checked on the second, third, or fourth layer, the desired retrieve rate must be set to the “corrected value” for the layer being loaded. -
