Narrative

Tech using 2 different size jack stands to support the bucket of a WA-900 and did not relieve the pressure from the hydraulic line. When they broke the control valve loose it caused the bucket shift and fall off of the jack stands. When the bucket fell the dog bone linkage swung down and hit the tech just below the knees. Tech sustained injury to both legs.
