Narrative

Troubleshooting a hydraulic clamping system on a Symons 5-1/2 Cone Crusher. The pump had been run out of oil due to a leak. The pump was off, at this time they removed three lines inside of the unit to release air. The lines were not properly installed, resulting in bypassing of the relief valves. This resulted in lacerations to EE's right hand.
