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.

Connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses must ONLY be done
when the machine is shut down and is in a non-loaded condition. This
means that all mechanical and hydraulic pressure has been released.
Make sure to clean all contact surfaces before connecting hydraulic
hoses or replacing the multi-port dust caps. Replace all multi-port dust
caps when not in use. When connecting the female and male multi-
port units together watch that you do not catch your fingers or other
objects in between the connections.

Operation Instructions
Figure 6 –Tractor Operating 3 Nozzle Boom
img-00695
Complete the following instructions to setup and operate your 3 Nozzle Manure Boom:
Step 1
Connect your 3 Nozzle Manure Boom to the three-point hitch system of your tractor.
Then connect the hydraulic system to the tractor after your 3 Nozzle Manure Boom is
properly connected to your Tractor.
Figure 7 –Tractor Operating 3 Nozzle Boom

Step 2
Before operating the 3 Nozzle Manure Boom for the first time OR after a long period
of storage you must synchronize the splash plate adjustment cylinders. Cycle the
tractor’s hydraulic system to close the splash plates. Hold the system in the closed
position for AT LEAST 5 MINUTES to purge the boom’s hydraulic system of air. This
step must be completed to ensure even coverage during the application process.
Step 3
Raise the 3 Nozzle Manure boom; then raise all four leg stands.
Figure 8 - Retract Stand Legs
img-00696
Step 4
Locate your tractor so that the boom is in front of the nutrient delivery system
connection.

Step 5
Connect the Drag Elbow connection to the nutrient delivery systems hose and check
that all chains are connected.
Figure 10 - Connect Chains
img-00144
If the chains are not connected correctly damage may occur resulting
in ponding/pooling of effluent.
Step 6
Check that the Ball Catcher Valve is fully closed. If the Ball Catcher valve is not fully
closed then close it and check to make sure it’s fully closed.

Step 7
Check that all hose connections are secured correctly. Unfold the boom arms and
move them into position using your Tractor’s hydraulics after you have checked all
hose connections.
Figure 12 - Unfold Boom Arms
img-00046-A
Step 8
Pull the hose out to furthest point in your field to prepare for application.
Figure 13 - Boom Field Starting Position
img-00047
The Hose Reel MUST have at least one full coil of hose on the drum as
a minimum to prevent damage to equipment. Damage can cause fluid
leaks and will result in ponding/pooling of effluent.

Step 9
3. Adjust the nozzles for correct coverage
and to avoid excess overlap. This can be
done by three separate adjustments:
Figure 14 - Unreel Direction
img-00048
4. Adjust the sliding nozzle mount to
your needed width.
Figure 15 - Sliding Nozzle Adjustment
img-00049
5. Adjust the three-point hitch to your needed height
Figure 16 - 3-Point Hitch Adjustment
img-00051
OPERATOR NOTE
Each application may require
adjustment based on system
variables (e.g. solid content, pump
pressure, distance from source,
etc.). The following are guidelines to
aid in the set-up process
Maximum:
For Low (1-2%) Solid Content Fluid
and good operating pressure adjust
the nozzles to the maximum width.
img-00032
Medium:
For Medium (3-4%) Solid Content
Fluid and/or poor operating pressure
adjust the nozzles to a narrower
width.
img-00033
Minimum:
For High (5-6%) Solid Content Fluid
and/or poor operating pressure
adjust the nozzles to the narrowest
width.
img-00034
Please Note:
Variables such as system design,
pump capacity, 3-point hitch
limitations, and slurry constitution
may result in adjustments other than
shown in these guidelines.

6. Adjust the splash plates to get the correct spread pattern.
Figure 17 –Splash Plate Adjustment
img-00050
Step 10
Once the boom nozzles are set correctly you can start applying nutrient liquid.
There are a number of hose drag patterns that can be used when applying nutrient
liquid. Cadman Power Equipment Limited has found the zigzag pattern to be one of
the best methods. We recommend this method, but you are not limited to using it.
Follow the instructions below if you are going to use the zigzag method.
img-00035
1. .
img-00036
OPERATOR NOTE:
Adjust tractor hydraulic flow to a low level. Slow splash plate movement allows for better
adjustment of the spread pattern.
1. Use a zigzag pattern cover the
first half of your section while
working away from the reel
2. When you have finished the
first half, drive along the outside of
the area to the second half of your
section

img-00037
3. Cover the second half in a similar fashion,
using a zigzag pattern and working away from the reel.
img-00038
4. Finish covering the entire section. Signal the pump
operator when you are finished applying
Step 11
Start the hose blow out procedure. Keep moving the boom through the field until flow
to the nozzles has stopped.
OPERATOR NOTE
Where field conditions
permit, always attempt to
pull the hose up or down
sloping terrain instead of
operating across a side
hill.
Always turn away from the
reel. Failing to do this
could cause you to get
“trapped” by the drag
hose.
Be aware of obstacles in
the field. Application plans
need to take into account
any obstacles that could
get in the way of your
application.
Keeping your 3 Nozzle
Manure Boom clean will
dramatically increase its
life.
Cleaning the hoses, as
well as cleaning the
exterior of your 3 Nozzle
Manure Boom is highly
recommended after each
use.

The hose is a high volume “Receiver Tank” containing a large amount
of fluid. You must allow enough spreading area to properly apply the
hose contents.
