## Narrative

Louisiana Cat Techs were installing the tilt cylinder on the rear axle. While trying to line up the bores of the frame and the rod of the cylinder, the bearing on the frame was not lined up and was caught. While lining up EE's hand was on the bottom of the cylinder, when cylinder lined up it dropped 3"" onto EE's finger.  EE had gloves on at the time.
