The Bambi Bucket is designed to be effective with foam.
All materials used in the manufacture of the Bambi
Bucket are resistant the chemical action of foam.
CAUTION: After using foam or retardants,
cycle through several dumps with water only
or hose down with fresh water. This will
prolong the bucket life.
6.1 SACKSAFOAM
TM
Foam Injection System
The Sacksafoam
TM
is SEI Industries’ state of the art foam
dispensing system for use with your Bambi Bucket. This
system, exclusive to the Bambi, allows foam to be
dispensed into the bucket en route from the filling source
to the fire site.
There are four models of Sacksafoam to fit the full range
of Bambi Buckets. The operation of the Sacksafoam is
controlled by the pilot through a Control Unit, which is
mounted in the cockpit. This model of the Sacksafoam
contains the foam reservoir directly installed inside the
bucket.
Also available are the Sacksafoam II and III units, which
are self-contained units stowed onboard the helicopter.
The system is all housed in a foam-resistant case. With
the Sacksafoam II, the pilot still controls the foam
dispensing through the Control Unit. With the
Sacksafoam III, designed for medium and heavy lift
helicopters equipped with larger Bambi Buckets, the
operation of the system is performed by crew members
in the back. The Control Unit is mounted directly on the
case of the Sacksafoam III. See Table 2 for Sacksafoam
size requirements.
For further instructions on operating the Sacksafoam
units, please refer to the applicable Sacksafoam
Operator's Manual.
