What was found

FWD RIGHT MED EMERGENCY EVACUATION SLIDE INFLATION BOTTLE SAFETY PIN INSERTION WAS EXTREMELY HARD. [SUP 05-16-07] FWD RT EMERGENCY SLIDE WAS REPLACED. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE INFLATION BOTTLE REGULATOR VALVE WAS OUT OF POSITION, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE SAFETY PIN HOLES TO NOT LINE UP CORRECTLY.
