3. DEPLOYING THE BAMBI BUCKET
Fig. 5: Cut 13"(330 mm) off the IDS Deployment
Cable.
Fig. 6: Cut 32" (813 mm) off the trip line.
The Instant Deployment System uses a hub and spoke
mechanism to automatically expand the mouth of the
bucket as soon as the weight of the Bambi is taken by
the suspension cables.
When the bucket is full, the IDS Deployment Cable and
Hub Restrainer Cables should be slack; they should not
bear any load. Their function is to position the hub and
spoke mechanism to hold the bucket open.
The main parts of the IDS are illustrated in Fig. 7. To
deploy the IDS System on the ground, reach into the
bucket, grasp the hub of the IDS and pull outward fully
until the two cables from the hub to the lower bucket
shell are tight.
