9. PACKING THE BAMBI BUCKET
Fig. 11: Place head on collapsed bucket.
To pack the Bucket:
1) Collapse the Instant Deployment System
by pushing the hub into the bucket.
2) Grab the control head and pull the suspen
sion lines taut as shown in Fig.7.
3) Gather the suspension lines into a coil and
stow inside the bucket as shown in Fig.8.
Placing the control head outside and the
lines inside prevents the possibility of the
lines tangling.
4) Bring the control head back and place on
collapsed bucket.
5) Roll the bucket into a bundle and wrap with
rope supplied.
6) Take the carrying bag and drape it over the
bucket.
7) Roll the bucket over into the open bag and
zip up the bag.
The carrying bag with the Bambi Bucket makes
a suitable shipping container when shipping via
airfreight.
Because of the compactness of the Bambi,
many operators carry it aboard the helicopter at
all times during the fire season. This allows a
very rapid response to a fire call.
