THE ARC CHUTE APPEARS TO BE DIFFERENT IN CONFIGURATION FROM THE ORIGINAL ARC CHUTE AND EXHIBITED AN INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE REAR ARC HORN AND THE ARC CHUTE MOLDED CASE DURING INSTALLATION. THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES APPEAR TO BE THE POSITION AND ANGLE OF BEND FOR CONTACT. DUE TO THE INADEQUATE CLEARANCE WHICH OCCURS DURING INSTALLATION, EXCESSIVE FORCE WOULD BE REQUIRED ON THE LINE POLE UNIT TO ALLOW THE ARC CHUTE TO ATTACH TO THE FRONT ARC CHUTE SUPPORT. THE LICENSEE HAS 5 OF THE POTENTIALLY AFFECTED ARC CHUTES ON HAND. THE LICENSEE IS NOT AWARE OF OTHER FACILITIES THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS DEFICIENCY.
