Narrative

Mechanics were changing out motor on south coarse feed pump. Job was nearing completion and they were using a string to align the motor and pump sheaves. As one mechanic stepped up on pump base, an unsecured piece of the sheave guard slid off the pump, striking the employee on top of the left foot just behind the steel toe.
