5 ADD, EDIT OR CALIBRATE A BUCKET
Note
Before using a new bucket, it must be calibrated. If a bucket is worn out or the
measurements have changed, recalibration is needed.
Always check the bucket measuring accuracy after calibration (chapter 2.4).
To select an existing bucket for editing, go to “Main menu” → “Buckets” and choose the desired
bucket.
To create a new bucket, go to “Main menu” → “Buckets” and choose “<New bucket>” from the
bottom of the list. To create a bucket with no preset values, select “Blank values”. To copy values
from an existing bucket, select “Copy existing” and select the desired bucket from the list.
Bucket settings are shown in Table 4.

Buckets need to be calibrated using either a normal bucket calibration or a tilt calibration. Which of
these calibrations is carried out depends on the circumstances, which are outlined in Table 5.
Table 5. How to determine whether a bucket calibration or tilt calibration is needed
Option
Description
Bucket calibration
(chapter 5.2)
A new bucket is added that does not tilt sideways
A new bucket is added that tilts sideways and whose tilt calibration
parameters are to be copied from an existing bucket
Tilt calibration
(chapter 5.3)
A new bucket is added that tilts sideways, and tilt calibration
parameters are not copied from an existing bucket
A new bucket that tilts sideways is added and tilt calibration has
not been carried out
The tilting part (for example tilt rotator or tilting quick coupler) has
been changed
The tilt calibration wizard includes bucket calibration.
Note
If the type of the bucket is “Flat” or “Drill/Pile”, normal bucket calibration (chapter
5.2) and angle calibration (chapter 5.4) have to be carried out.
