Section 3: Deploying the Bambi Bucket
Deployment Instructions
Attaching to the Cargo Hook
Head Orientation
The Bambi MAX is rigged for a longitudinal cargo hook. Correct attachment is indicated when the ballast
on the Bambi faces 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.
Caution
The Bambi MAX 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
MAX is correctly fitted to the helicopter.
Caution
It is important that the ballast faces forward in flight. This will avoid twisting of the suspension
lines and possible jamming of the tripline.
