Safety Issue
The maintenance of the generator flexible fuel hoses was
inadequate. Inappropriate temporary repairs had been made and hoses
longer than specified by the generator manufacturer had been used
in the past. As a result, some hoses were in poor condition due to
wear and this had not been noted during previous surveys, audits
and inspections.
Safety Advisory Notice
