Align Point (G) vertical with Point (J). A plumb bob can be suspended from Point (G) and the bucket can be curled until Point (J) is directly below Point (G). Once the bucket is positioned correctly, press the "OK" button to continue.
Illustration 18 g03675201Note: A plumb bob may be utilized to ensure that the bucket cutting edge/floor is vertical in this step instead of a bubble level.
Attach a magnetic bubble level to the floor of the bucket and curl the bucket or hang a plumb bob over the back of the bucket until the floor is vertical. Once the bucket is positioned correctly, press the "OK" button to continue. Note: Positioning the bucket with the floor vertical will capture the angle of the bucket for future wear compensation.

Define an initial length of the bucket teeth or cutting edge. This dimension is utilized for the "Tooth Wear Compensation" feature. When measuring Length (J) - (J1), Point (J1) is located at the discretion of the user. Follow the same steps as described previously for entering this dimension, and press "OK" to continue. Note: The user should select a measurement location that is not likely to be affected by bucket wear. For example, it is not advised to measure from the cutting edge to the tip of a tooth because the cutting edge can also wear over time.
Illustration 20 g03675227Note: If the bucket being measured is not a tilt bucket, the following steps related to the tilt function will not appear in the calibration.
Level the tilt axis by curling the bucket. A magnetic level can be attached to the end of the tilt axis pin to show when the axis is level. Once the bucket is positioned correctly, press the "OK" button to continue.

Use a bubble level and position the cutting edge so that the bubble level is perfectly horizontal. Once the bucket is positioned correctly, press the "OK" button to continue.

With the tilt axis level and the cutting edge level, measure and enter the distance from Point (J) to Point (K). Depending on the bucket shape, a square can be used to assist in obtaining Length (K-J). Follow keypad number entry steps to enter this dimension, and press "OK" to continue.

Raise the left bucket tooth by around 1 foot. This height allows the system to learn the orientation of the sensor on the bucket. Once in the correct position, press the "OK" button to continue.

If the bucket was positioned correctly, then pressing the "OK" button will complete the calibration. Press the "Return" button to exit the procedure. Editing a Cat Grade Control Bucket for Wear
The simplified bucket measure-up process supports a new feature which allows the user to edit one simple dimension allowing the machine to adjust the bucket dimensions to compensate for physical wear that occurs on the bucket cutting edge or
