SOLUTION:
Perform the rework procedure that follows.
Rework Procedure
The rework consists of drilling holes in the bottom plate of the stick assembly to enable water to drain from inside the body of the stick. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
- Drill a 10 mm (0.4 inch) diameter hole in the chamfered portion of the bottom plate of the stick assembly. See Figure 3 for the drilling location.
- Drill a 10 mm (0.4 inch) diameter hole in the bottom plate of the stick assembly. See Figure 4 for the drilling location. Note: Drill through both the outer plate and the inner plate as shown in Figure 2. The distance between the two plates is approximately 10 mm (0.4 inch).
