9. Take the carrying bag and drape it over the bucket.
10. Roll the bucket over and insert the bucket into the
bag.
Storing the Bucket
Prior to storage, wash the bucket with fresh water and dry completely to prevent the growth of mildew
and the corrosion of aluminium and steel parts. If the bucket is used in salt water, or with firefighting
foam or retardant, take extra care when cleaning to remove all contaminants. Salt, foam and retardant can
accelerate corrosion and degradation of materials if not removed. If necessary, a mild detergent can be
applied to remove stubborn build-up. Store the bucket indoors and out of direct sunlight.
The Bambi Bucket carrying bag makes a suitable shipping container when shipping via airfreight.
Because of the compactness of the Bambi Bucket, many operators carry it aboard the helicopter at all
times during the fire season. This allows for rapid deployment when required.
