## Discrepancy

DURING A ROUTINE "A-CHECK", FINNAIR FAA REPAIR STATION WAS REQUESTED TO PERFORM FAN BLADE LUBRICATION OF POSITION NR 3 ENGINE ON DA-10,N303WL.  INSPECTION OF THE FAN BLADES REVEALED THAT ALL FAN BLADE SPACERS WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED.  THE SPACER RETAINER LIPS WERE HANGING LOOSE, TOWARD THE WEB AREA OF THE FAN DISK, INSTEAD OF UNDER THE SPACERS BENEATH EACH FAN BLADE.  IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THE STARTERS QUAD-RING WAS NOT SECURED BY A BOLT.  ATTACHMENTS TO ORIGINAL REPORT SENT TO FRANKFURT IFO WERE FORWARDED TO PMI FOR WORLD CARGO.
