Section 8: Repair Quick Guide
Overview of Repair Categories
This section is intended to provide the user with information that will allow for the quick repair assessment
evaluation of the Bambi Bucket. The repair assessment process is almost identical for all sizes of the Bambi
Buckets, with some exceptions for minor bucket design variations between the models. This section also
offers specific guidelines that sort the component defects into one of four categories: Safety, Operational,
Monitor and OKAY. Use the guideline definitions to determine how urgently a repair should be carried out.
Category 1: Safety
All defects in this category must be repaired immediately before further operation of the Bambi Bucket oc-
curs. Ignoring defects in this category could result in personal injury or damage to equipment. These defects
can compromise the following functions of the Bambi Bucket: structural integrity, flight stability, water re-
lease and flight safety.
Category 2: Operational
All defects in this category should be repaired before the next operational day or approximately eight hours
of flight time. The defects do not compromise the safety of the bucket but may lead to Category 1 defects,
if not addressed within a short time frame.
Category 3: Monitor
Many defects such as wear, abrasion and minor impact damage do not need urgent attention. Defects of this
nature should be monitored daily and repaired before they progress to a Category 2 defect.
Category 4: OKAY
The Bambi Bucket does not need repairs.
Important Note
Unfortunately, it is impossible to provide a recommended service time frame as some buckets are
used often while others are used only rarely. In addition, buckets are shifted between operators,
making it difficult to track usage. If you are unsure of your bucket’s status, check with any Bambi
Bucket Service Center, in your area, for more information and assistance.
Important Note
If more information is required, refer to the Bambi Bucket Operations manual, the Bambi Bucket
Service manual (for the model being used) or the Bambi Bucket Repair Assessment manual.
