Narrative

Employee was replacing leg transducer on #92 longwall face support. When he finished repairs he reached up and pulled the spool valve handle to set the leg jack. The spool valve pulled hard so the employee jerked the spool valve handle and when he did so he felt a pain in the middle of his back and right shoulder.
