## Discrepancy

DOOR 1 RT SLIDE/RAFT P/N 62771-118, S/N 0284 FOUND TO HAVE 5 CUTS IN INFLATABLE.  CUTS FOUND DURING SHOP OVERHAUL OF THE UNIT.  THERE WERE 3 CUTS IN TOP TUBE AND 2 IN BOTTOM TUBE ON RT SIDE OF SLIDE/RAFT ABOVE BOTTOM TUBE RELIEF VALVE. CUTS IN THE INFLATABLE APPEAR TO BE CAUSED BY A SNAP ON THE REBOARD LINE BEING PUSHED INTO THE BACK OF THE BOTTOM TUBE RELIEF VALVE CUTTING THE INFLATABLE MATERIAL.  THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE UNIT WAS REPACKED.
