Section 3: Deploying the Bambi Bucket
Deployment Instructions
Bambi Bucket Operations Manual (Version F) 5
The control head, used on models 6072-4453, has a moveable
yoke which can be rotated by 90 degrees. The yoke is ma-
chined to orient in either direction.
In some cases, where the cargo hook is too large for the standard shackle, a second larger shackle can be
used.
Important Note
If you are using a swivel with an electrical connection, it is acceptable for the bucket to be flown
without the ballast facing forward. The Bambi bucket has been tested with some swivels and per-
forms very well despite rotating in flight. The swivel also prevents the suspension lines from
twisting up after dipping the bucket.
Hole used when
rotating head.
Warning
When a second shackle is used to turn the bucket 90 degrees, choose a shackle that is close to the
same size as the shackle on the head. If a larger shackle is used, as shown in the photo below, it
may cause the power cable to tangle in the shackle, pulling apart the break-away plug.
If the shackle is too
large, it may cause the
power cable to tangle,
pulling apart the break-
away plug.
