Section 7: Repair Assessment Guide
Overview of Repair Categories
This section is intended to provide the user with information that will allow for the quick repair
assessment evaluation of the Bambi Bucket. The repair assessment process is almost identical for all
sizes of the Bambi Buckets, with some exceptions for minor bucket design variations between the models.
This section also offers specific guidelines that sort the component defects into one of three categories:
Safety, Operational, and Monitor. Use the guideline definitions to determine how urgently a repair should
be carried out.
Category 1: Safety
All defects in this category must be repaired immediately before further operation of the Bambi Bucket
occurs. Ignoring defects in this category could result in personal injury or damage to equipment. These
defects can compromise the following functions of the Bambi Bucket: structural integrity, flight stability,
water release and flight safety.
Category 2: Operational
All defects in this category should be repaired before the next operational day or approximately eight
hours of flight time. The defects do not compromise the safety of the bucket but may lead to Category 1
defects, if not addressed within a short time frame.
Category 3: Monitor
Many defects such as wear, abrasion and minor impact damage do not need urgent attention. Defects of
this nature should be monitored daily and repaired before they progress to a Category 2 defect.
It is impossible to provide a recommended service time frame as some buckets are used often while
others are used only rarely. In addition, buckets are shifted between operators, making it difficult to
track usage. If you are unsure of your bucket’s status, check with any Bambi Bucket Service Centre, in
your area, for more information and assistance.
