Narrative

A mechanic was installing the cover plate on a final drive assembly. He placed his right hand on the cover in an attempt to move the plate to align the holes over the studs. When the holes were centered over the studs, the cover plate fell onto the planetary section. His right thumb was caught between the cover and the planetary assembly causing a laceration requiring stitches.
