Using Foam
The Bambi MAX is designed to be effective with foam. All materials used in the manufacture of the Bambi
MAX are resistant to the chemical action of foam.
Sacksafoam Foam Injection System
The Sacksafoam is SEI Industries’ advanced foam dispensing
system for use with the Bambi MAX. This system, exclusive to the
Bambi, allows foam to be dispensed into the bucket in route from
the filling source to the fire site.
There are three models of Sacksafoam to fit this range of Bambi
MAX’s. The operation of the Sacksafoam is controlled by the pilot
through a control unit, which is mounted in the cockpit.
Sacksafoam I contains the foam reservoir directly installed inside
the bucket.
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.
