Storage
Prior to storage, wash the bucket with fresh water and dry completely to prevent the growth of mildew
and the corrosion of aluminium and steel parts. If the bucket is used in saltwater, or with firefighting
foam or retardant, take extra care when cleaning to remove all contaminants. Salt, foam, and retardant
can accelerate corrosion and degradation of materials if not removed. If necessary, a mild detergent can
be applied to remove stubborn build-up. Store the bucket indoors and out of direct sunlight.
The Bambi MAX carrying bag makes a suitable shipping container when shipping via airfreight. Because
of the compactness of the Bambi Bucket, many operators carry it aboard the helicopter at all times during
the fire season. This allows for rapid deployment when required.
