  2. Go to Blade edge position screen (blue icon to the left of GNSS icon: image-20240501-012248.png )

  3. Set and measure a point on the ground with a control stake or survey rover, this will be the Bench Point

  4. Select correct Point in Blade edge position screen, and place bucket accordingly to the Bench Point on the ground.

  5. Input Northing, Easting and Elevation measurements from rover into Comp. BM {Compare Benchmark}

  6. Move machine to now measured Bench Point, enter any elevation offsets into Comp. BM screen.

  7. Set swing lock button ON and Lock lever ON.

  8. In Offset tab, select Measure…

  9. Raw Bucket Position gives the coordinates of bucket edge un-offset position measured with GNSS.

  10. Difference = deviation between current bucket edge position and control stake coordinates

  11. Ensure the deviation is within required tolerance range for work required, press the tick to return to the main display.

  12. If the deviation of the coordinates is not within spec, tap Match - a compensation value is automatically calculated to make sure the bucket edge position matches the control point.

  13. Use the Offset section to enter individual deviation compensations if needed.

  14. Press the tick to return to the working screen & ensure bucket edge position button is outlined yellow.
