Out of Trench Set-Up
Set the laser up in an appropriate location for receiver visibility and efficient
machine operation and turn it on.
Place the bucket in the grade checking position and situate the machine
so a measurement can safely be obtained on the dipper arm. The dipper
arm may be set more horizontal to the ground for convenient measure-
ments if necessary.
Determine the distance from the laser to the bottom of the trench (L). This
is the set-up length. The length is the height of the instrument (HI) plus the
depth of cut from the benchmark to the bottom of the trench (C).
Mount the mast on the side of the dipper arm.
Position the receiver so the set-up length (L) is the distance from the
bucket ground contact point to the offset on-grade symbol on the back
label. (Set up to center on-grade symbol if center on-grade will be used).
Turn the receiver on and select offset on-grade and the desired deadband.
(Select center on-grade if set to center symbol).
Begin to excavate. Take grade readings with the bucket in the grade
checking position and the LED's solid.
Take a sample reading with the bucket "on-grade" and check to ensure
the elevation is correct.

For excavators and backhoes, determine where the mount
will be located on the machine so that when the BULLSEYE
is attached, it will intersect the laser beam. Ensure the
area of the machine is clean and free of oil and grease.
Angle the mount so the top edge of the top magnet will be
positioned first. Holding the mount by the pipe with both
hands, place the top edge of the magnet on the machine.
Slowly move the bottom magnet towards the machine so
the mount remains plumb.
CAUTION: Strong magnetic field; Do not posi-
tion fingers next to magnets.
Attach and set-up the BULLSEYE in the normal manner as described on
the previous pages.
Remove the receiver from the mounting pole prior to removing the
magnetic mount. Use a scrap piece of wood or other long material as a
pry bar. Insert the pry bar in between the magnetic mount pole and the
machine. Pry the mount sideways to loosen the magnetic hold. Once the
magnetic hold is loosened, the mount can be easily taken off the machine
by hand.
NOTE: For extendable dipper arms - if the mast is mounted
to the dipper arm section that moves with the bucket, grade
can be checked with the dipper arm extended to any
position. If the mast is mounted to the dipper arm section that does not
move with the bucket, grade can only be checked when the dipper arm is
in the exact set-up position.
