Bambi MAX Seal Replacement
If either seal has to be changed, we recommend that the valve be pulled from the shell although it may not
be necessary to detach the control cable from the IDS deployment line. Depending on circumstances, the
valve seals can be replaced while the valve is next to the shell but the valve should be placed on a clean level
surface such as a piece of cardboard or plywood. To remove the valve, please refer to the valve removal
section in the maintenance section of this manual. Once the valve has been removed, follow the directions
below.
Bottom Seal Replacement
Tools required: Ratchet 1/4", drive extension short socket 5/16" or slot screwdriver.
1.
To make the valve more stable, open the valve
until the top of the tube is level with the top of
the motor and cut the power to keep it in this
location. If you have several Bambi MAX
buckets, a Power Pack is available from SEI.
This Power Pack can also be used as the main
power source for operation of the bucket
which eliminates wiring the helicopter for the
Bambi MAX.
2.
Turn valve over, as shown in this picture.
