Overall lengths of Bambi MAXs with standard rigging are provided in this manual. Before using the Bambi
MAX, check for the maximum total length. To determine this length, measure the distance from the cargo
hook to the front tip of the tail rotor on the helicopter you will be using and subtract 6” (152 mm).
To determine overall bucket length:
1.
Stretch out the bucket on the ground; secure the control head.
2.
Measure the distance from the shackle on the control head to the bottom of the bucket. This
measurement should be less than the maximum total length of the dimension taken from the
helicopter.
Lengths are accurate to within 1%. Overall lengths with
standard rigging. Specifications subject to change.

Important Note
To avoid potential rotor strikes when using the Bambi MAX, the operator must measure the
extended length of the Bambi MAX and the distance from the belly hook to the closest possible
point of the tail rotor.
A) Always measure the overall extended length of your Bambi MAX.
and
B) Measure the distance from the belly hook to the closest possible point on the tail rotor.
"B" must always exceed "A" by at least six (6) inches.
