Have already advised Sandy of this one, but in case other Fraser 34 brigades can check their vehicles sooner & also feed back through proper channels...
While doing cab lift training the other day, one of the eagle-eyes in the brigade spotted some wear on the flexible hose to either the cabin spray or spray bar operating valve. The location is just inside the front of the front wheel arch.
On investigation, we found the hose rubbing against the end of a bolt securing brake(?) lines to the top of the chassis cross-member. The wear can only be seen with the cab fully raised, & in this state, the hose flexes well away from the bolt & bracket.
At this stage, it appears our hose integrity is ok, but left alone, the bolt would likely wear right through the hose. As a quick fix, I loosely cable tied the hose forward to other hoses in the same orientation, just enough to move it off the bolt. Will need to plan a long term fix - might need Fraser to retrofit a slightly longer hose.
