## Narrative

Making a belt move, pulling the conveyor belt through the tail piece, the clavis that attaches the wire rope to the belt puller became fouled up on the crossbrace of the v-scraper. He placed his foot on the conveyor belt to dislodge the stuck clevis. The clevis released and the belt puller and conveyor belt pulled through and caught his right foot between the cross-brace and belt.
