Narrative

A mechanic was searching for the cause of a leak on a loader, # RI 7400. The EE went to the top of the engine compartment to pull off a cover inorder to see the area for the engine. The EE removed the bolts holding the cover in place and grabbed the handles provided to remove the cover. While pulling the cover a knot appeared in his groin. The surgeon will see him on 11/19.
