## Narrative

EE was installing a hood lift assembly on the 988G loader. After connecting the pin & spring clip to the cylinder end of the assembly & the hood, he proceeded to place the clip & pin on the rear assembly end. Pin would not go through. EE attempted to align the pin by activating the hood to relieve pressure. The hood raised, the pin popped out & his hand was caught in the machine.
