Narrative

While servicing a 773 haul truck (equip. 1389), employee was preparing to put power steering fluid in the tank, however the cap was tight. He placed his left forearm against the muffler to gain leverage to open the cap. He did not realize the muffler was hot, as a result, he sustained a burn to his left forearm.
