Bucket Sensor Mounting
The bucket sensor is the most challenging sensor to mount to keep the
sensor and cables protected.
The recommended location of the sensor is on the left side of the
bucket with the arrow pointing forward, toward the direction of
travel.
When mounting the bucket sensor, keep the following in mind
(Figure 2-6 on page 2-9):
• Position the bucket at zero degrees before mounting the sensor.
• Sensor orientation (Up/Forward, etc.) references the position of
the bucket at zero degrees.
Fabrication of a sensor guard and cable protection is
required to minimize damage.
Because this varies widely, such specific protection
is not included in the Topcon kit and must be
supplied by the installer.
When using a quick-release bucket, mount the
sensor to the quick-release, not the bucket.
