Bambi MAX Bucket Operations Manual 18

Section 6: Packing and Storage

Packing the Bucket

NOTICE

Always leave the valve open one to two inches as this prevents the bottom seal from collapsing during
long periods of storage, leading to longer seal life.

1.

Open the valve 1-2 inches.

2.

Collapse the IDS by pushing the hub into the bucket.

3.

Grab the head and pull the suspension lines taut. Tape
the lines together in two bunches.
