Manual bucket calibration
Place a plumb-bob or weighted string line on the bottom of the dipper arm so the string passes directly
through the center of the bucket pivot pin.
Drop the string down below the edge of the bucket teeth/edge. Make sure the string is hanging still.
Slowly close the bucket (do not move the dipper or boom) until the edge or teeth of the bucket is just
touching the string. This will set the Vertical position for the bucket sensor.
If the machine is older and/or has pressure loss resulting in a dropping boom, perform the above vertical
alignment procedure last.
With your tape measure, take a measurement from the bottom of the edge/teeth to the centre of the
bucket pin.
Measure the width of the bucket.
Input the bucket
“length”
Input the bucket “width”
