Narrative

An employee operating Rotopacker C, noticed that 1 of the 3 belts on the bag unwinding radimat was falling off the idle pully. The employee attempted to fix it alone by tugging on the belt with left hand, while at the same time 'jogging' the belt with the manual button using right hand to try and 'walk' the belt back onto the idle pully.
