S e r v i c e o r d r e M a t e r i e l l Materiellsjef F/NLF kommuniserer pålegg omkring forhold som ansees som vesentlige for å oppnå de målsettinger som er satt for materiellarbeidet via denne Service ordre. Målgruppen for Serviceordre er Materiellkontrollører, Hovedinstruktører og andre nøkkelpersoner i miljøet. SERVICEORDRE 2013-3 HENVISNING: FORMÅL: STATUS: Sun Path Service bulletine#spsb008 Kontrollere at lengden på kuttkablene er korrekte. Obligatorisk før neste hopp. IDENTIFIKASJON: Alle Sun Path rigger produsert fra januar 2009 til februar 2013 BAKGRUNN: SERVICE: UTFØRELSE: Sun Path har oppdaget at de har hatt en glipp i kvalitetskontrollen som har ført til at et visst antall kutthåndtak inkl kuttkabel er feil trimmet. Kabler med feil lengde kan føre til uønsket kutt av hovedskjerm eller at den ikke kutter iht intensjonen, som igjen kan føre til sammenfiltring med reserven når denne åpner. Alle rigger som er merket med produksjonsnummer fra og med 1/2009 til og med 2/2013 skal inspiseres. Inspeksjonen utføres i henhold til SPSB008, se nedenfor. Kontrollen utføres av MK eller høyere. Dersom kablene viser seg å være for lange så følg instruksjonen i SPSB008 side 4 pkt B. Dersom kablene viser seg å være for korte så kontakt Sun path, se SPSB008 side 4 pkt C. Når kontrollen og ev tilltak er utført merkes riggens kontrollkort med SO 2013-3 utført.
