Pre-Installation Checklists
Before you begin to install the iDig, make sure you’ve got everything you need to successfully
complete the installation along with checking your equipment and your working area.
Prestart Checklist #2 – Machine Checks
Have you got a SAFE and SUITABLE location for the install?
This calibration process requires a bit of space to operate the machine in. You’ll
be rotating the cab 360° and fully extending the booms and bucket. Find an area
where you can do this safely. This area will need to provide a stable and level
footing for you and the machine. It is crucial that the machine is level left to
right to aid in calibration of the boom and dipper. An excavator tipping
forward/backward at an angle is acceptable.
Machine checks before you start:
Is the excavator in good working order:
• Pins and bushings are well greased? A sloppy machine equals a potentially
sloppy calibration and an inaccurate system.
• No Hydraulic problems? Does the boom stay raised and doesn’t drop when
left in a high position? If so, you’ll not be able to calibrate the Boom and
Dipper Sensors correctly and the system will not be accurate.
Check the power outlet
• Can the machine supply 12V and/or 24V?
• Is the power supply stable and not drop or turn off?
• If power is not available, check for a blown fuse or corrosion in the
receptacle.
• Does the cigarette lighter plug fit securely into the accessory plug?
