## Narrative

The hydraulic jacks were used to raise the primary jaw to unpin the stationary legs up front. When the EE's up front attempted to raise the stationary leg manually to pull the pin, the EE in back raised the unit in the back unaware of the teetering effect it had on the unit up front. Resulted in the EE up front getting his fingers pinched.
