SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
As the owner and / or operator it is ultimately your responsibility to insure personal
safety and to operate this machine in a safe manner. Your good judgment and the following
precautions will help you to avoid costly accidents and minimize personal risk.
• DO NOT move or operate this machine until you have read and understand the instruc-
tions in this manual.
• NEVER allow untrained persons to operate this machine.
• DO NOT attempt to service this machine while it is in operation.
• MAKE CERTAIN all mechanical and hydraulic tension has been released before attempt-
ing to service the machine.
• CHECK all nuts and bolts regularly for tightness.
• PERFORM REQUIRED MAINTENANCE as prescribed or as necessary to keep this ma-
chine in safe operating condition.
• KEEP ALL SPECTATORS at a safe distance.
• STAY CLEAR of high pressure supply lines, especially when first pressurizing the system.
• DO NOT remove or alter any of the shielding from this machine.
• BE CERTAIN that the machine is securely anchored (using the stabilizer legs) before un-
spooling the hose.
• KEEP WELL CLEAR of all moving parts.
• NEVER tow this machine at speeds greater than 10 MPH / 15 KPH and be certain the tow

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
“SAFETY IS JUST A WORD UNTIL PUT INTO PRACTICE”
This symbol, the safety-alert symbol, indicates a hazard and conforms to ANSI
/ ASAE S350. When you come across the safety-alert symbol in this manual,
make certain you fully understand and abide by the given instructions.
Keep the chassis of the machine on firm and level ground. A Cadman Traveller
has a high center of gravity. It is essential that it be operated from a stable posi-
tion to prevent roll over.

SAFETY DECALS
The safety decals on this machine are intended to warn the operator of potentially haz-
ardous areas. These decals must be properly maintained. This includes;
• keeping all safety decals legible
• replacing any decal that becomes illegible
• replacing any decal that is missing
• if applicable, include the current safety decal specified by Cadman Power Equipment Ltd.
on any component installed during repair
Contact Cadman Power Equipment Limited to obtain replacement safety decals.
When replacing safety decals reinstall them onto there proper locations.
SAFETY SHIELDS
The shielding installed on your Cadman Traveller is designed to help guard against
accidental entanglement in the moving parts of the machine. These shields must be removed
ONLY for the purpose of repair or periodic maintenance as described in the “Required Main-
tenance” section of this manual. The shielding MUST be immediately re-installed BEFORE
putting the machine back in service.
STABILIZER LEGS
All Cadman Travellers are equipped with two (2) stabilizer legs. The stabilizer legs
MUST be lowered each time the machine is used, no matter how little hose is pulled out!
Regular inspection of your pipe couplings, tubing and gaskets should be part of
your regular set-up routine. Any defective parts should be replaced or taken out
of service.
Pressurizing your Cadman Traveller must be done slowly and cautiously to
purge all the air from the system before bringing the system up to full operating
pressure. (see “Field Set Up And Operation” #16 on pg. 13 for further explana-
tion)
WARNING
Operation of a Cadman Traveller without the shielding in place could re-
sult in serious personal injury or death!
WARNING
Failure to properly use the stabilizer legs may result in unwanted frame
movement or machine upset with the potential to cause serious injury or

APPLICATORS AND ACCESSORIES
There are a variety of applicators available to be used with your Cadman Traveller.
Ask a Cadman Power Equipment Limited representative about your options.
Cadman Power Pak Cadman Manure Boom Cadman Broadcast Cart
Many accessories are also available for use with a Cadman Traveller (i.e. Cadman
Power Pak) Refer to there respective manuals before using any piece of equipment with your
Cadman Traveller.
GUN CART
The gun cart assembly of the Cadman Traveller has adjustable rear track widths as well
as provisions for adding additional weight to the gun cart frame. The gun cart should be ad-
justed to the widest track width that row spacing will allow. This will provide greater stability for
the gun cart.
With gun flows exceeding 240 gallons per minute, or when operating on uneven terrain,
additional weight MUST be added to maintain gun cart stability and help prevent cart upset.
Additional weight may be gained by “loading” the
rear gun cart tires and/or using tractor front end
weights as required.
CAUTION
If the gun is set so that it rotates forward of the
rear wheels of the cart (toward the reel), stop the
retrieve cycle NO LESS than 10 FEET out from
the machine in order to prevent gun damage
caused by the gun hitting the cart lift assembly.
