Digging can be continued. The depth is measured compared to the original reference level, even 
though the altitude of the excavator might have changed (Figure 35).

6.3.3 Moving the excavator by using the zero function

When measuring depth, the excavator can be moved in order to continue digging at the same 
depth (for example when digging a foundation) with the help of the zero function. Measure the 
depth normally (Figure 36). In this example, the “Starting level” is “0.00”.

Move the machine to a new place, to a point where digging can be continued. After the excavator 
has been moved, reach the measuring point on the completed surface and zero the measurement 
value by pressing the “0.0” button (Figure 37). After zeroing, digging can be continued (figure 38).
