Marking Locate Positions
The front and rear negative locate points (FNLP and
RNLP) and the positive locate line (PLL) must be found
and accurately marked during the locating procedure'
To mark a locite position after you have found it, stand
with the receiver level immediately above the locate
point. Look down the verticalaxis that runs through the
center of the display to proiect a plumb line to the
ground. The poini where this plumb line hits the
ground is the location that you should mark.
