  • Page 14: Bracket For Bucket Sensor

    The best place to attach the bracket for the bucket sensor depends on the size of the excavator and if the joints are tight or loose. It is easiest to make X-22 measure accurately if the bucket sensor is attached directly on the bucket/quick coupler. This is especially the case if the joints are loose.
