l As you move the machine and bucket, the icon mimics the movements on the
screen.
l The red square on the bucket indicates the horizontal guidance point (the
bucket focus), if applicable. The green line on the bucket indicates the vertical
guidance point(s).
Note – The position of symbols for other parts, in particular the tracks/wheels or
rear corners, are approximate and for indication only.
