When Applying Liquid Manure
Current and pending laws in agricultural regions of North America change the ways in
which the agricultural community needs to manage their liquid animal waste products. As a
manufacturer of agricultural equipment, we feel it necessary to make you aware that the
municipal, regional and state governing bodies in your area may have created new laws or
updated current laws for nutrient handling practices and procedures. The changes in these
laws typically target run-off prevention and soil nutrient loading.
Run off may result from several factors. Some (but not all) of the factors are:
Incorrect application
Difficult application areas containing steep hills or other features that may make run off
more likely to happen
Changes in weather that would allow run off to happen (sudden storms just before or just
after applying, ground frost, etc.…)
Constant watch must be kept and immediate action taken when needed to prevent run off from
happening.
Soil nutrient loading depends on several variables. Some (but not all) of these variables are:
The type of crop(s) being grown
The type of soil the crop(s) are growing in
Nutritional value of what you are applying
Nutritional needs of the crop(s) and soil they are growing in
Application timing, nutritional value of what you are applying, and the type of soil will determine
the intake rate at which liquid may be applied. Soil analysis taken at appropriate times will
help you create a correct application plan for your crop(s). In addition; local colleges,
universities, and agricultural extension services are a good source of information. They may
be able to help you create an application program that will help prevent problems with your
application.
CADMAN POWER EQUIPMENT LIMITED is unable to provide up-to-date recommendations
for the laws you must follow in your area. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of
and follow the law in your area. Please contact your local agricultural representative to obtain
the latest information for legal handling and application of nutrient.

Planning Your Application
Complete the steps shown in order to create a plan to irrigate your field:
Step 1
If you are using a new traveller for the first time, or a traveller that was drained beforeA )storage, you must start somewhere that will allow you to pull out the hose. You must
leave at least one full coil of hose on the drum after pulling the hose out. Verify that the
hose coils on the base layer are packed tightly with no gaps between coils.
Failing to leave at least one coil of hose on the traveller drum will result in
damage to the hose. You also risk pulling the hose off of the drum barb.
Damaging the traveller’s hose and/or pulling the hose off of the drum barb
will lead to pooling/ponding of water. This will muddy the area around the
traveller and may cause injury to operators and/or spectators. This will
also damage the traveller.
Check the traveller’s fluid levels and verify all fluid levels are correct.B )
Step 2
Determine your application depth in inches. Do not irrigate deeper than the root zone of
the crops you are irrigating as you will over water. Over watering your crops will result in
wasting time and raising irrigation cost of your crops.
Figure 6 - Root Zone: Depth of Application img-00197-A

Step 3
Divide your field into the least number of sections for complete coverage.
Choose the area you plan to irrigate. If this area is greater than what you can irrigate inA )one pull you need to divide the area into the least number of sections. Use the
performance data tables on page 151 to determine your traveller’s irrigation area.
Figure 7 - Reel Coverage img-00193-A
The total length of your irrigation pull can be calculated from the following equation:
𝑨 = 𝑩
𝟐+ 𝑪
A is the total irrigated length in feet.
B is the diameter of your sprinkler throw in feet. See page 151 for sprinkler
performance data.
C is the length of your machine’s hose. See the table below for your traveller’s
hose length.

Avoid quarter circle irrigation pulls whenever possible. Reduce your sprinkler’s nozzle B ) size and/or lowering the operating pressure may reduce the spray so that you can
irrigate your field without using quarter circle irrigation pulls. If you change your flow
rate you must adjust your retrieval rate to match the new flow rate.

If a quarter pull unavoidable, prepare the travel lane with a shallow trench for the hoseC )to follow. You may also add weights to the sprinkler cart to assist in the sprinkler cart
track in a straight line. If you are unable to set the sprinkler cart up for a quarter circle
irrigation pull then you must change your plan to use full irrigation pulls.
If you need to perform a curved irrigation pull, you must pull out at least 200 feetD )(61 meters) of hose straight out of the machine before starting a long, gradual curve.
The curve must not form a 90 degree bend.
Failing to provide a trench or furrow during a quarter circle pull or curved
pull will lead to the sprinkler cart tracking unpredictably. This may result in
the sprinkler cart colliding with anything in the sprinkler cart path.
Collision with an unpredictably tracking sprinkler cart will cause serious
injury to operators and/ or spectators. It will also cause damage to the
sprinkler cart and any object it collides with.
Plan to leave open travel lanes and ample head lands. Travel lanes and head landsE ) that have been hilled and cultivated will lower the towing effort needed to pull the
sprinkler cart into position. Hilled and cultivated lands will also provide guidance for the
hose. Make sure to provide ample head land space to safely turn your traveller and set
it up.
Some crops (e.g. alfalfa, peas, potatoes, sod) will provide high resistance to pulling theF ) hose out. If you irrigate a crop that provides high resistance for hose pull out
decoupling the feeder hose at the mainline valve and pulling the hose out slower may
assist hose pull out.
Decoupling the feeder hose at the mainline valve will drain the irrigation
traveller’s hose. The hose contains several hundred gallons of water and
will muddy the area around the traveller. This may cause injury to
operators and/or spectators.

Start your irrigation pull at the section furthest from your water source when possible.G )This will prevent changing water sources during a multiple pass irrigation pull.
Figure 9 - Multi Pass Setup img-00233-A
Pull the hose up or down sloping terrain when possible. If operating on the side of a hillH )cannot be avoided you must dig a hilled trench for the hose to follow in addition to
adding extra weight to the sprinkler cart to prevent it from tipping and falling downhill.
Failing to provide a hilled trench and/or adding weights to the sprinkler cart
will result in the sprinkler cart sliding or falling downhill during operation.
This may cause serious injury and/or death to operators and/or spectators.
This will also cause damage to the sprinkler cart.
Make sure to note all the obstacles in the area you want to irrigate. You will need to
adjust your plan for obstacles in order to safely irrigate the area you are planning for.

Determine the retrieval rate using the sprinkler data charts, system pressure, and fieldI ) width. See the retrieval rate selection example below…
Retrieval Rate Selection Example
For this example a 4000SWB traveller is fitted with a Nelson SR150 sprinkler. The
Nelson SR150 will be using a 1.34 inch ring nozzle operating at 90 psi.
Use the above information to plan for a field using 300 foot lane spacing that needs
1.25 inches of irrigation depth.
Use example Table 1 to find the GPM you will be pumping. For this example, cross theA ) 1.34 inch ring diameter with the 90 psi operating pressure.
A 1.34 inch ring nozzle operating at 90 psi will irrigate at 405 GPM.
Next, use example Table 2 to look up the time it will take to cover one acre in minutesB ) by crossing the GPM from step A and the 1.25 inch irrigation depth used in this
example. If the GPM from step A does not match with one of the flow rates in example
table 2, the flow rate in example Table 2 that is closest to the GPM from step A is
chosen.
A flow rate of 245 GPM with an irrigation depth of 0.75 inches
will give a time of 68 minutes.
Use example table 3 to look up the retrieve rate you need by crossing the time neededC )to cover 1 acre from step B with the 300 foot lane spacing.
81 minutes to cover 1 acre with a 300 foot wide lane
will give a retrieval rate of 21 inches per minute.
You must set the sprinkler up so that the 300 foot section is covered in addition toD )enough overlap to provide adequate watering at the edge of your field.
The following charts are to be used as a guide only. Always verify the
application amount with rain gauges to confirm that your application is
correct.

4000 Series Traveller Start Up
Prepare your 4000 series traveller for use in the field by completing the following steps
in order:
Step 1
Ensure the drive system is disengaged before towing. Move the shifter towards rightA ) as shown in the graphic below.
Figure 10 - Disengage Drive System img-01427
Failure to disengage the drive system before towing will result in excess
shock in the drive system. This may lead to damage to the traveller.

Verify the engine fuel valve is in the off position by pulling it to the right. The engine fuelB )valve is located on the rear side of the engine as shown. If the engine fuel valve is not
off you must switch it to the off position before towing.
If you need to shut the engine fuel valve off immediately after use, avoid touching the
engine.
Figure 11 - Shut Fuel Valve img-01422
Failure to verify that the engine fuel valve is off before towing will result in
the fuel system remaining on during transport. This may lead to damage to
the traveller.
The engine will be hot due to running continuously while doing irrigation
pulls. Touching the engine during, or after an irrigation pull without time to
cool down will lead to operator injury.
Verify that the drum brake is applied. If the drum brake is not applied, you must apply itC )before towing.
Failure to verify that the drum brake is applied may lead to the drum
rotating during transport. This may lead to damage to the traveller.
