Section 1: Sacksafoam II Overview
Introduction to Model 8044
This manual provides helicopter operators with important information on the operation and maintenance of
the Sacksafoam dispensing system for use with the Bambi bucket.
The Sacksafoam II has advanced features to enhance the efficiency of helicopter fire fighting.
The control box has a quartz digital timer to control the delivery of an accurate percentage of foam concen-
trate. The timer circuit has crowbar over-voltage protection and its own circuit breaker.
The operation of the Sacksafoam II can be quickly mastered by users with no prior experience. Several
dumps with foam will provide familiarity with the use of the system.
Please read this manual prior to flying the bucket, particularly the sections on installation, filling and dis-
pensing. If problems are experienced, please refer to the manual.
For your own protection and for longer system life, always heed the instructions and warnings. Ignoring
them could result in damage to the Sacksafoam II, the Bambi bucket and aircraft or in personal injury.
SEI offers complete parts supply and repair facilities for the Sacksafoam II. For maintenance and repair pur-
poses, parts diagrams and descriptions are provided in this manual
.
When ordering parts, please provide the model and serial number of the unit which is printed on the back of
the controller and on the inside of the container lid that is normally removed during operation. The side of
the grey container also shows the Sacksafoam model number.
