Section 2: Deploying the Bambi Bucket
Attaching to the Cargo Hook
The Bambi Bucket is rigged for a lateral cargo hook. Correct attachment is indicated when the name
plate on the control head faces forward in flight. This ensures that the ballast on the Bambi will face
forward in flight.
Control Head Orientation
The control head has a moveable yoke which can be rotated
by 90°. The yoke is machined to orient in either direction. If
your helicopter has a longitudinal hook, rotate the shackle
yoke by 90°. This will place the name plate on the control
head forward in flight.
For this style of head, if using a swivel hook, always operate
in the locked position to assure that the ballast is always
facing forward in flight.
In some cases, where the cargo hook is too large for the
standard shackle, a second larger shackle can be used. If the
shackle is too large, it may cause the power cable to tangle,
pulling apart the breakaway plug.
WARNING
Ensure that all shackles are rated with a minimum safety factor of five for the gross weight of the
bucket as shown on the data plate.
CAUTION
The Bambi Bucket may not be suitable for a direct hook-up to the cargo hook. The actual hook-up will
be different for various aircraft and operators must comply with all instructions and bulletins supplied
by the aircraft manufacturer. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the Bambi Bucket is
correctly fitted to the helicopter.
