Introduction
As the bucket’s cutting edge wears down, the machine’s GNSS system will think the bucket edge is higher than it really is. Adjusting the wear offset keeps your grade control precise.
⚠️ Safety Notes
-
🔴 Park safely: Lower the bucket, lock the control levers, and shut off the engine before doing physical checks.
-
⚠️ Stay clear of the edge: The cutting edge is sharp and heavy. Wear gloves when measuring.
-
✅ Do not guess: Always measure the wear with a tape measure or calipers before entering values.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Measure the wear
-
Park on level ground.
-
Measure the amount of steel lost from the original cutting edge thickness (your dealer can provide original spec if unsure).
-
Example: If the edge was originally 30 mm thick and now measures 25 mm, wear = 5 mm.
-
-
Turn on the ICT monitor
-
Switch the starting key to ON (engine can remain off).
-
Wait for the ICT monitor to fully boot.
-
-
Open the Attachment settings
-
On the ICT monitor, go to:
-
Menu → File → Attachment
-
-
Select your current bucket from the list.
-
-
Adjust wear value
-
Find the Tooth/Edge Wear Adjustment (sometimes shown as Tip Wear or Cutting Edge Wear).
-
Enter the wear amount (e.g., 5 mm).
-
The system will shift the GNSS bucket tip/edge calculation downward by that value.
-
-
Confirm and save
-
Tap the checkmark ✔ to save.
-
Return to the Dashboard and ensure the attachment status is shown in green.
-
-
Verify accuracy
-
Check the bucket tip against a known survey control point.
-
If it still shows high or low, repeat the adjustment until accurate.
-
Tips
-
Recheck wear weekly or whenever a new cutting edge is welded/bolted on.
-
If using multiple buckets, enter wear values separately for each bucket in its attachment profile.
