## Discrepancy

CDG - DURING THE DAILY CHECK, WHILE PERFORMING A DOOR ASSIST BOTTLE PRESSURE CHECK FOR THE R2 DOOR, FOUND THE R2 DOOR WITH A SAFETY PIN INSTALLED INTO THE PERCUSSION HOUSING, PREVENTING OPERATION OF THE DOOR ASSIST/DAMPER ASSEMBLY.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED THE SAFETY PIN FROM THE R2 DOOR DAMPER AND EMERGENCY OPERATING CYLINDER.
