Narrative

EE was removing a hydraulic line near the brake accumulator on an 834K with the cab removed. When the line came loose, pressure inside the line caused hydraulic oil to hit the EE in the face. The EE's safety glasses took the brunt of the impact but some hydraulic oil still got in the EE's right eye.
