Section 2: Preflight Safety Check
Safety Checklist
Along with the aircraft, the Bambi MAX Bucket should also receive a preflight inspection each day. Follow
the checklist below, beginning at the bottom of the bucket and working upwards.
1. Check the bottom chain looking for any tears in the fabric straps. Also, check the lock wire
or tie wraps on the shackles.
2. Check for loose bolts around the bucket shell; IDS brackets at the top, the wear strips at the
bottom and bottom rings.
3. Check the diagonal M-straps that connect the suspension cables to the top of the bucket,
looking for signs of wear or incorrect suspension line connections.
4. Check the suspension cables for frays, kinks or loose swages.
5. Check that the ballast is securely attached. Full ballast is essential for safe operations.
6. Check the head for secure shackles.
7. Once the Bambi MAX is hooked-up to 28 V power, activate the valve several times to ensure
that the hook-up is correct.
8. If a PowerFill system is installed, inspect the conductor wires for damage, chafing or wear.
Confirm that the conductor cables are firmly secured.
•
For external PowerFill Snorkel, the wires should be attached to the nearest suspension
line.
•
For internal PowerFill MAX, check that the cable sleeve is securely anchored to the valve
and head, and that the cables have sufficient slack at both ends.
•
If a long line is used, the wires should be attached to this line also.
9. Inspect the cable connectors for damage and ensure proper connections.
10.
With power on, check the function of the pumps by pressing the pump’s ON button for four
or five seconds.
•
The pump should turn on and run for the period the button is held. The pump will be
audible within a few feet of the bucket.
•
Listen for abnormal noises that are not consistent with smooth operation. If you are
operating in a noisy environment, you can confirm that the pump is running by holding
your hand on the top of the filter screen.
•
You may also see the shell move each time you activate the switch.
CAUTION
Do not operate with damaged cables. Damage to an electrical cable, that leaves the conductor exposed,
can result in a fire if it comes in contact with another conductor or metal object.
