How to Add & Configure Buckets 

  1. Open the bucket configuration menu

• From the main menu, go to Config → Buckets. 

• This is where you manage bucket profiles for the machine. 

• Important: whenever you change buckets on the machine, you must also update the bucket on the software so the coordinates stay accurate. 

  2. Review existing buckets or create a new one

• You’ll see any buckets that have already been added. 

• You can either:  

• Edit an existing bucket, or 

• Create a new bucket profile. 

• When creating a new one, give it a clear name that is easy to identify. 

  3. Enter the bucket dimensions

• For s standard bucket, measure the bucket dimensions using a tape measure and enter them into the S1 & W1 fields. 

• Key fields include:  

• S1 = height from the tip of the bucket to the pin 

• W1 = width 

• In the example, both measurements are set to 1 meter. 

  4. Calculate the bucket angle

• Use the bucket angle calculation to define the bucket’s position. 

• For the S1 angle:  

• Attached the bucket to the machine and position the bucket so that the S1 line is vertically plumb.  

• Use a plumb bob to make sure it is perfectly vertical. 

• Click Calculate to generate the angle (Main Bucket Angle). 

• For the B angle:  

• Sit the bottom of the bucket flat on the ground. 

• Click Calculate again to determine that angle. 

  5. Choose the correct bucket size type  

• Select whether the bucket is:  

• Standrard, or 

• Custom 

• Use Custom if the bucket is trapezoid-shaped or has a smaller bottom than the top. 

• Custom buckets require extra measurements so the software can calculate the correct geometry. 

  6. Use the built-in instructions if needed

• Click Instructions for a built-in guide. 

• The instructions explain:  

• What measurements to take 

• How to position the bucket 

• How to calculate the angles 

• This is useful if you need a reminder while entering a new bucket profile. 

7. Save the new bucket profile

• Click Save after entering all measurements and calculations. 

• The new bucket will now appear in the bucket list. 

  8. Apply the bucket to make it active

• Select the new bucket from the list. 

• Click Apply. 

• Confirm the action when prompted. 

• A star appears next to the bucket name when it is active. 

• The active bucket is now loaded on the machine and used for coordinate calculations. 

  9. Reapply the old bucket when switching back

• If you switch back to a previous bucket, you must apply that old bucket again. 

• This ensures the software matches the bucket currently installed on the machine.
