Secure the breakaway hose to the helicopter. Run the 5/8" (16 mm) ID female garden hose from
the end of the breakaway hose down to the Bambi bucket. Attach the hose to the suspension lines
using tie wraps. Take care not to pinch or kink the hose as this will restrict the flow of foam.
Warning
Do not secure the garden hose fitting to the breakaway hose with a clamp. The breakaway hose is
intended for safe jettisoning of the Bambi bucket.
Important Note
If the bucket has to be jettisoned, the hose will pull apart at the unclamped fitting. Since the break-
away hose is secured, there will be no tendency for the garden hose to pull the Sacksafoam from
the helicopter. In this event, any foam in the hose will drip safely outside the helicopter.
