Section 4: Making Adjustments
Bambi Bucket Service Manual – Models 2024-4453 16
To adjust a single string:
1. Simply adjust the tension of the string to equal that of
adjacent strings. Repeat the knot shown three times
for each purse string.
To adjust all the strings:
1. Stand the bucket vertically.
2. With the valve bottom flat on the floor, pull the
bucket shell into a round shape by deploying the IDS.
3. Run a rope from an overhead support to the ring on
the top of the valve.
4. Proceed to adjust the strings.
Once the strings are adjusted, fill the Bambi Bucket with water, just below the top of the valve. Check to
see if both lips of the valve are matched right across the top. Sometimes, one lip will ‘track’ slightly
above or below the other.
Usually, one or two specific purse strings will cause this
improper tracking. To correct:
1. Grasp the purse strings at the centre of the lower side.
2. Pull the strings several times to bring the lip into
alignment.
3. Re-tie the purse strings so that the string is just snug.
Do not over-tension the string. Over tensioning will
result in misalignment at another position on the
valve.
