           7. PROBLEM: POTABLE WATER UNITS HAD BEEN PACKED WITH FOOD
           CAUSING DELAYS IN SET UP. THE FOOD HAD TO BE REMOVED BY HAND
           BECAUSE A FORK LIFT COULD NOT GET INTO THE UNIT WITHOUT DAMAGING
           THE WATER PRESSURE TANK.

              SOLUTION: A. DON'T PACK FOOD IN THE POTABLE WATER UNITS.

                        B. PROVIDE MORE PALLET JACKS FOR FOOD REMOVAL.

           8. PROBLEM: IN POTABLE WATER PUMP THERE IS A PVC FITTING BETWEEN
           TWO BRASS FITTINGS. THIS FITTING CONTINUALLY BROKE RESULTING IN
           ROUGHLY 4 HOUR LONG DELAYS IN BRINGING THE UNIT ON LINE.

              SOLUTION: PROVIDE A BRASS FITTING INSTEAD OF PVC.

           9. PROBLEM: THE POTABLE WATER UNITS CONTAINED HANDLES ON THE
           DECK UNDERNEATH THE BLADDER WHICH HAD TO BE REMOVED PRIOR TO
           INSTALLATION OF THE BLADDER TO AVOID PUNCTURING IT.

              SOLUTION: HAVE THE HANDLES REMOVED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT OF THE
           HOSPITAL. THERE STILL HAS BEEN NO REASON FOUND FOR THESE
           HANDLES.

           10. PROBLEM: THE SCREWS WERE NOT PROVIDED WITH THE JACKS FOR
           EVERY HEAD UNITS CAUSING HOURS OF DELAY IN THE SET UP OF THE
           UNIT. THE IMMEDIATE SOLUTION WAS TO HAVE A STEELWORKER WELD THE
           BRACKETS ON.

              SOLUTION: PROVIDE THE SCREWS WITH THE JACKS IN EACH HEAD UNIT
           INSTEAD OF PUTTING ALL THE SCREWS FOR THE JACKS FOR ALL THE HEADS
           IN ONE HEAD UNIT.

           11. PROBLEM: NO TECH MANUALS WERE PROVIDED FOR PARTS FOR HEAD
           UNITS, ICE MACHINES, ETC.
