Narrative

EE walks into the baghouse to see why the auger wasn't working. EE then walks back to the motor and sees the cover where the fan is looked like it had been beaten to death causing the fan not to run due to obstruction. EE was pulling on the belts to get the shaft to turn and that's when the motor kicked on causing EE's hand to get caught in between the pulley and the belt.
