Section 3: Deploying the Bambi Bucket
Deployment Instructions
Attaching to the Cargo Hook
Control Head Orientation (Models 6072-4453 only)
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.
If your helicopter has a longitudinal hook, rotate the shackle yoke unit at the top of the head by 90 degrees.
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.
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 bulle-
tins supplied by the aircraft manufacturer. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the Bam-
bi bucket 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.
