Narrative

EE went to adjust the sampler brake. EE disengaged the sampler brake and then lifted the cover so EE could pull on the sampler drive belt to get it into position. EE tried to move the sampler forward the sampler did not want to move so, EE moved it in reverse. The sampler must have moved far enough to trigger the position sensor and the system turned on catching EE's right arm.
