When pressing zeroing button, system sets height and distance to zero with respect to selected measuring point. If operator has set height offset values to the system, then system will calculate set offset from zeroed point.

Find stable point from ground 2. Open bucket so only bucket blade is going to touch the point 3. Place selected measuring point to point on ground 4. Press zeroing button 5. Close bucket so measuring point bottom is on the point 6. Check height difference, if difference is more than +/-1cm, recalibrate bucket
