## Narrative

While opening the air filter access door on the 450 loader the door appeared to be fixed into the up and open position when in fact it was not secure. The air filter door fell and pinched the pad of the right index finger between a washer and door opening. The washer had been previously welded into place to use a lifting device for the motor hood on the loader.
