## Narrative

One of the tail pulleys had buildup behind the guard that was covering the wing pulley. EE took a 36"" long rod with a hook at one end and inserted it in a 1"" space in the guard to sweep the material free from the tail pulley. In doing so the rod was caught by the wing pulley and ripped the rod from his hand which resulted in breaking the skin and his thumb.
