14. BUCKET MAINTENANCE
Leaving the string on makes it easier to remove the repair
clamp when placing a permanent patch on the bucket.
This procedure is to be used for repairs when hole(s) or
small cuts occur. The size of cut or hole will determine
the size of sealing clamp to use. Clamps may not form
a leakproof repair if used on or over a seam. Sealing
clamps are available from SEI Industries Ltd.
For a cut or hole up 2" (5 cm), use a 3" (7.6 cm) clamp.
For a cut or hole up to 4" (10 cm), use a 5" (12.7 cm)
clamp.
For a cut or hole up to 6" (15 cm), use a 7.5" (19 cm)
clamp.
Slip the inside clamp through the cut in the bucket and
rotate it until it is parallel with the cut.
Center both clamps over the cut, tighten wing nut with
fingers and then, if necessary, lightly tighten with pliers.
The protruding cord may be cut off if desired.
Overtightening can deform the clamp and cause leaks.
4. Place the top of the clamp over the bolt.
5. Tighten the nut by hand.
CAUTION: Tightening the nut with tools may
break the bolt away from the lower clamp.
