cal carrier buckets always!
The various swinging buckets are split up into weight
categories. These can be identified from the letters
suffixing the order number on the bucket. Buckets of
identical weight categories should always be in-
stalled in opposing positions to avoid imbalance.

sure, before loading, that the rubber bottom is placed
