## Discrepancy

THE HOSE WAS FOUND BROKEN AT SWIVEL AND BY ASPIRATOR DURING UNPACKING PROCEDURE.  HOSE WAS FOUND BROKEN AT SWIVEL AND AT ASPIRATOR CONNECTION DURING MAINTENANCE OF THE SLIDE IN THE SHOP.  PROBABLE CAUSES COULD BE MISHANDLING DURING TRANSPORTATION OR  THAT THE ROUTING OF THE HOSE DURING THE PREVIOUS SLIDE PACKING WAS INCORRECT AND THAT RESULTED IN ITS BREAKAGE.  HOSE WAS REPLACED.
