BAMBI BUCKET SERVICE MANUAL - SEI Industries Ltd.

Section 4: Making Adjustments
Adjusting Various Components
To adjust a single line:
1. Simply adjust the tension of the line to equal that of adjacent
lines. Repeat the knot shown three times for each purse string.
To adjust all the lines:
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 string.
Checking Purse Line Adjustment
Once the lines 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 lines will cause this improper
tracking. To correct:
1. Grasp the purse lines at the centre of the lower side.
2. Pull the strings several times to bring the lip into
alignment.
3. Re-tie the purse lines so that the line is just snug. Do
not over-tension the line. Over-tensioning will result
in misalignment at another position on the valve.
One side lip is raised due to incorrect
purse line adjustment.
